Pack Name
Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)
Core Purpose
This comprehensive assessment pack evaluates student proficiency and growth on state-standardized CMAS examinations by tracking scale scores, percentile ranks, and discrete standard strands across multiple years. By cross-referencing high-stakes test results against structural demographic layers and performance tiers, it allows instructional leaders to audit curriculum alignment, identify systemic achievement gaps, and design precision intervention pathways.
District360 & School360 Dashboards
- Key Questions Answered:
- How does macro-level student achievement vary across major testing subjects (ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies), and are historical cohorts successfully shifting into “Met” or “Exceeded” proficiency bands?
- What systemic achievement gaps become visible when average state percentile ranks are disaggregated by demographics such as ethnicity, gender, language proficiency, or economically disadvantaged status?
- Which individual campuses or grade bands are demonstrating long-term structural declines or growth acceleration across localized assessment subclaims?
- Target Audience & Primary Use Cases: Superintendents, Chief Academic Officers, Directors of Assessment, and Building Principals. System leaders utilize this district-wide layer to evaluate long-term programmatic health and conduct institutional equity audits. The macro metrics help determine systemic textbook or curricular adoptions, steer district-wide professional development initiatives, and satisfy state-level high-stakes accountability reporting.
Class360 Dashboard
- Key Questions Answered:
- How do specific class sections or homeroom blocks (e.g., 5 Mathematics) compare in average percentile rank against established benchmarks?
- Are specific class periods displaying disproportionately higher concentrations of students tracking within the “Did Not Yet Meet” or “Partially Met” performance levels?
- Which specific state assessment subclaims (e.g., ELA Subclaim 1 vs. Subclaim 3) present systemic instructional bottlenecks across a teacher’s collective student rosters over time?
- Target Audience & Primary Use Cases: Classroom Teachers. This tier enables instructional leaders to monitor achievement trends across schedules or course sections.
Student360 Dashboard
- Key Questions Answered:
- How does an individual student’s scale score and percentile rank compare contextually to the normative averages of their specific school building and the broader district?
- What precise state performance classification tier did the student secure, and what do their raw scores on individual domain subclaims reveal about their specific skill gaps?
- Is the student’s mastery profile consistent across all tested domains, or do they exhibit a isolated learning deficit in a single discipline, such as Mathematics?
- Target Audience & Primary Use Cases: Guidance Counselors, Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Coordinators, Intervention Specialists, and Core Subject Teachers. This hyper-focused tier drives direct, personalized interventions for individual students. Staff pull these customized performance footprints to coordinate specialized remediation blocks, structure formal Gifted/Talented (GT) path designations, anchor data-informed parent-teacher conferences, and adjust student-specific testing accommodations or individualized learning plans.
