He and many other Denver Public School students headed back to the classroom today for the first day of school. Students at Polaris Elementary in Denver continue to earn the highest scores on the annual Colorado Measures of Academic Success test, according to data released by the Colorado Department of Education on Thursday.
Only 31.2% of DPS students met or exceeded expectations in math, which is up almost a percentage point from last year but still below 2019 levels. Overall, the district had fewer students take CMAS exams in both math and literacy this year compared to 2019 and 2023. CMAS tests are offered to students in third to eighth grade. Children who score at least 750 on the exams are considered to have “met or exceeded expectations,” which means they are on the path to being college- or career-ready.Statewide, about 500,000 children took CMAS tests this year, a figure that was similar to 2023 but down from before the pandemic.
