CDE releases preliminary state assessment results
STATEWIDE, Colo. (KREX) – The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) released the preliminary results of the CMAS, PSAT, and SAT exams given to students in grades three through 11 in Colorado public schools this spring.
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. 'By releasing preliminary state-level data now and making individual scores available through the Family Portal, we're reinforcing our commitment to informing families, educators and the community about Colorado student achievement before heading into the new school year.'
