Academic Performance
District educators believe that a student’s progress is measured not by one assessment at a moment in time, but rather by an entire body of evidence. The body of evidence includes, but is not limited to: projects and performances, common grade or subject-level assessments, teacher-created quizzes and tests, as well as other diagnostic tests administered throughout the school year.
State Assessments
FFC8 students are administered the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) assessment annually.
-
English Language Arts (ELA) - Grades 3-5
-
Mathematics (Math) - Grades 3-5
-
Science - Grade 5
This data is used to track overall student achievement and growth, as well as monitor any specific growth gaps between student groups. The data is not received until after the school year is over; therefore, it is most useful as a tool for reflection.

Local Assessments
FFC8 uses a number of high level district assessments to measure general progress in Math and English Language Arts in all schools.
-
Acadience Reading (DIBELS) - Measures students' early literacy skills and helps determine if students are on track to read at grade level (K-3)
-
Illuminate DNA - Measures students' progress towards mastery of year-long, grade-level standards in Mathematics and English Language Arts (Grades 2-5)
