Students at Windsor Charter Academy will be taking their Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) tests in April! CMAS tests are meaningful and relevant assessments that support rigorous academic standards. The state’s summative tests measure students’ mastery of grade-level standards and growth over time. In addition, these assessments measure students’ critical thinking skills that are needed to be successful in school and in life.

Standardized test scores are frequently used to determine placement in advanced courses/programs and to identify instructional needs of students. COVID-19 has directly impacted student learning in a variety of ways. It is now more important than ever for WCA to assess students’ progress towards mastery of grade-level standards. All testing data will help inform teachers as they work with students to prepare them for the next school year.

To ensure students take each test, please make every effort to schedule appointments outside of these testing windows.
