Overview

Concepts and skills explicitly identified in the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) are the basis for the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) assessments. The purpose of CMAS is to indicate the degree to which students have mastered the CAS in mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies at the end of the tested grade level. CMAS results provide one measure of a student’s academic progress relative to the CAS. Teaching to the CAS with fidelity is the best preparation for the CMAS assessments, which were developed by CDE in partnership with Colorado educators and the assessment vendor, Pearson, Inc.

CMAS assessments are administered annually in the spring.
