Local scores on statewide language arts and math tests are closing in on pre-pandemic levels, though student achievement continues to lag in some grades and subjects after more than two years of COVID-19 school disruptions.
“The teachers and staff at all of our buildings have worked extremely hard,” said St. Vrain Valley Executive Director of Assessment Ann Reed.
Overall, both the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts outscored the state on all tests, according to results released Wednesday. Participation rates in both districts, as well as statewide, also are approaching 2019’s levels on the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS), PSAT and SAT tests.
