About CMAS

Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS): English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies and CoAlt Science and Social Studies

The CMAS test measures the Colorado Academic Standards in the content areas of reading/writing, math, science and social studies.  A small number of students with cognitive disabilities who meet specific criteria may demonstrate their content knowledge on the Colorado Alternate Assessment, CoAlt.  Schools taking social studies assessments will be selected by the state through sampling process and will only take social studies every three years.

​

CMAS assessments measure students' acquistion of the standards.  Colorado educators set "cut scores" for each test  based on specific content that students should be able to engage with at the four performance levels.  Students scoring in the met and exceeded levels are on track for college and career readiness.
