| The Colorado Student Assessment
Program (CSAP) is designed to provide feedback to districts and schools
in their effort to fine tune their education systems. The CSAP tests
achievement based on the state's model content standards and is administered
identically in classrooms across the state. Its primary purpose is
to monitor state trends, give an overall view of student performance,
and corroborate the district's own assessment results. After the results
of this yearly assessment have been compiled, they are published statewide.

testing go to the Colorado Department of Education website at http://www.cde.state.co.us/index_assess.htm
