There was a balanced performance across the state in English Language Arts (ELA). For the CMAS exams, besides grades four and eight, all scores are at or above where they were before the pandemic. In regard to the SAT, 11th graders showed improvement in reading, writing, and math. PSAT 9 scores have stayed steady besides in math, which declined. PSAT 10 scores rose in math but declined in writing and reading. 'We wanted families to have early access to their students' results so they could celebrate areas of strength and seek support where needed,' said Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova. 'We're encouraged to see improvement in statewide scores in several areas. However, this release includes only limited data—we don't yet have information about how different student groups performed, which has historically been an area of concern for Colorado.' For families to access scores and results, they will need their student's State Assigned Student Identifier (SASID) and can go to the Family Score Report Portal. Growth information, disaggregated results, state, district and school-level data will all be released to the public in August. 'Providing timely access to assessment results gives families a clear view of year-end academic progress and helps identify summer support needs,' said Chief Assessment Officer Christina Wirth-Hawkins.

Colorado Department of Education releases 2025 student performance report card
The Colorado Department of Education released preliminary results Wednesday outlining the overall success and progress made by Colorado students over the last year. Colorado public school students in grades three through 11 took the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS), PSAT and SAT assessments this spring. In most areas of study, students reached or surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with the exception of fourth-grade and eighth-grade English Language Arts and eighth-grade math. Changes reported in the state-level scores include: Steady student performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with slight increases in the percentage of students meeting grade-level expectations in grades five, six, and eight, and a more substantial gain in grade seven. In math, Colorado's elementary and middle school students continue to demonstrate strong progress, with notable year-over-year gains in grades four through eight and an upward trend since 2021. Overall, CMAS scores are at or above pre-pandemic levels in all grades except grade four (ELA) and grade eight (ELA and math). SAT results for 11th-grade students improved in both reading and writing and math compared to last year. PSAT 9 scores remained steady in reading and writing but declined in math, while PSAT 10 scores increased in math and decreased in reading and writing. Although final results will be released in August, including state, district and school-level data, the CDE decided to release the preliminary scores this week to help families identify areas their students need support in over the summer.

Individual students' CMAS scores are available through the Family Score Report Portal. Parents and guardians must have their child's State Assigned Student Identifier (SASID) to access the student's information.

U-46 plans to cover cost of high school juniors taking the ACT in fall
School District U-46 will pay for high school juniors to take the ACT test in the fall in an effort to familiarize students with the exam, meet dual-credit application requirements and potentially boost scores. The standardized tests will cost $121,862 according to a proposal endorsed Monday by the U-46 school board and to be formally approved June 16. 'This is a new initiative to stay in alignment with the Illinois State Assessment for 11th-graders,' said U-46 Assessment Director Matthew Raimondi, who spoke about the plan prior to the meeting. The state requires all 11th-grade students and any untested 12th-grade students take the ACT with Writing exam as part of the spring state assessment in order to graduate. That test features a 40-minute written essay session, according to the ACT website. 'For many years previously, the SAT was part of the graduation requirement in Illinois,' Raimondi said. 'Now, by offering the ACT to juniors in the fall, it provides students the opportunity to get familiar with the format before the mandatory ACT in the spring.' The district had considered offering the PreACT to juniors in the fall but opted against it because Elgin Community College and other community colleges do not accept its scores for admitting qualifying dual-credit students, he said. PreACT scores also aren't considered for scholarship opportunities, such as those offered by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. 'The actual ACT does count for dual credit, directly aligns to the state test, is college reportable and allows for students to submit a 'Super Score,'' Raimondi said. A Super Score lets students to submit their highest score from each test subject from different test dates when applying to college, he said. According to a memo provided as part of the Monday meeting agenda, 'a student who performs best in English and reading in the fall and in math and science in the spring may submit an ACT superscore combining their top section scores for college admissions.' After taking the ACT test in the fall, based on their performance, students will have access to targeted activities to build their subject skills in preparation for taking the mandatory ACT in the spring, the memorandum said. 'We are excited to offer this new opportunity for our students and help them prepare for the spring test,' Raimondi said prior to the meeting. The district has been providing the PSAT, which aligns with the state test, and offers dual-credit opportunities, both of which can lead to scholarship opportunities through the National Merit program, he said. 'We are planning to continue to offer the PSAT to 10th-graders and 11th-graders in the fall,' Raimondi said. With the state and the federal government requiring high school students to take so many tests, Superintendent Suzanne Johnson said staff would provide school board members with a calendar of when during the 2025-26 school year U-46 will be offering the various assessments.
