Office of Assessment

The Office of Assessment supports student learning by providing meaningful educational data to schools, families, and community stakeholders. Our team works closely with teachers and school leaders to coordinate academic assessments and surveys and to help schools understand and use the information these measures provide.

Together, assessment results and other educational data help create a more complete picture of student learning across Colorado Springs School District 11 and support informed decisions that contribute to a high-quality public education for every student.

Below, you will find links to D11 assessment policies and Colorado Department of Education (CDE) resources with information about state and federally required assessments.

We are committed to providing educators, families, and community members with accurate, meaningful information about student learning, academic performance, and perceptions of school climate and success.
