CSAP Scores

Date posted: 10/12/2006

"Assessment, challenging academic standards, and school district accountability are the three 'legs' supporting Colorado's comprehensive school reform efforts." (Colorado Department of Education) Colorado Department of Education uses the terms Advanced, Proficient, Partially Proficient, and Unsatisfactory to measure the level of achievement on the CSAP tests. These are the definitions as stated on their website:

Advanced: A student scoring at the Advanced Level has success with the most challenging content of the Colorado Model Content Standards. These students answer most of the test questions correctly, including the most challenging questions.

Proficient: A student scoring at the Proficient Level has success with the challenging content of the Colorado Model Content Standards. These students answer most of the test questions correctly, but may have only some success with questions that reflect the most challenging content.

Partially Proficient: A student scoring at the Partially Proficient Level has limited success with the challenging content of the Colorado Model Content Standards. These students may demonstrate inconsistent performance, answer many of the test questions correctly but are generally less successful with questions that are most challenging.

Unsatisfactory: A student scoring at the Unsatisfactory Level has little success with the challenging content of the Colorado Model Content Standards.

2006 was the tenth year of the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP). CSAP is academic testing administered every year to students in grades three through ten. The tests are subject-based, covering reading, writing, mathematics and science (eighth grade only was tested for all four subjects). Testing is also done in Spanish for third and fourth graders. All students are expected to test in English beginning in the fifth grade.

What these data tell us:
Larimer County School Districts have traditionally registered higher percentages of students scoring in the 'Proficient and Advanced'* category than the statewide averages. In general, 2006 test scores follow this trend. However, Larimer County School Districts showed lower percentage test scores in the 'Proficient and Advanced' category in 6^th and 7^th grade writing than State averages. To view data from previous years, visit Past CSAP Results. The Colorado Department of Education posts other assessment data for school districts and individual schools, as well as educational standards.

*The Proficient and Advanced data are derived by combining the percentages for the 'Proficient' and the
'Advanced' categories.
