The Santa Barbara School Districts’ Board of Education on Tuesday recognized students from throughout the elementary and secondary districts for their outstanding work on the California Standards Test.

The California Standards Test is administered annually in the spring. All grades are tested in English language arts and mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8 and 10 are also tested in science, and students in grades 8 and 10 are also tested in history.
