Attention Parents

New in 2025! Parents can access their student's state assessment results as soon as they are available:

PSAT and SAT in May
CMAS and CoAlt in June

Your student's state student identifier (SASID) is needed to access CMAS and CoAlt results; student CollegeBoard accounts are used to access PSAT and SAT results.

CoAlt Math & ELA (DLM) Results

Note: CDE cannot provide sensitive student information to individuals. Check your school's student information system for your student's SASID or contact your school or district for support. SASIDs also appear on previous years' CMAS reports.

As in previous years, data files and reports will become available to districts and schools throughout June and July. Districts and schools may use aggregated and individual student level results internally for informational and planning purposes as soon as they are received.

About

The CDE Assessment Division oversees the implementation of Colorado's state summative assessments.

The state assessments include the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) and SAT suite of assessments as the state's summative content assessments for measures of college/career readiness, ACCESS English language proficiency assessments, and the Colorado Alternate (CoAlt) assessments for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. CMAS assessments are the state tests in English language arts and math for grades three through eight; science for grades five, eight and 11; and social studies, which is sampled in grades four and seven. Colorado administers PSAT in grades nine and 10 and SAT in grade 11. ACCESS and Alternate ACCESS are administered in kindergarten through grade 12.
