Assessment & Testing Information for Parents/Guardians

NCSD’s assessment system measures students’ progress toward the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards, screens students for further support, and measures students' readiness for college or careers. The District Assessment System is a statutory requirement in the state of Wyoming.  The NCSD system consists of four levels 1) classroom level, 2) school level, 3) district level, and 4) state level. These four levels work in conjunction to support learning and teaching in our schools.  The assessments provide data that informs students and parents as well as supporting school improvement.
