All freshmen, sophomore, and junior Coast High School students take the STAR tests each spring, usually in April. The schools receive a "grade card" called an API Index number based on our students' scores on these tests. Click on the site below to find out more about the District's Testing Schedule.

Also, in the spring semester, the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) is given to all sophomores and any student who did not pass it during their sophomore year. Sophomores will enroll in Exam Skills in spring semester to prepare for the CAHSEE. This class offers students practical test-taking techniques and practice in the areas covered on the CAHSEE.
