CMAS and CoAlt are the assessments that are mandated by the Colorado Department of Education.  CMAS is given to our 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders. All 3rd-6th students take the Math and English Language Arts assessments. Additionally,  5th grade takes a science assessment, and some schools are also chosen to also take the 4th grade social studies assessment.
