The Montana Comprehensive Assessment System (MontCAS) supports a balanced approach to student assessment comprised of:

  • Summative Assessments - provide an overall measure of students' educational goals
  • Interim Assessments - benchmark student achievement throughout the year
  • Formative Assessments - give teachers the ability to adjust teaching and learning strategies in the classroom

Montana State Assessment Results

Montana's 2022-2023 State Assessment results were made available in early September. Math scores for students in Grades 3 thorugh 8 have increased when compared to the 2021-2022 data. Grade 11 students increased scores across content areas, ELA, math, and science. This 2022-2023 Statewide Assessment Overview presentation gives additional detalis. 

 

 

The vision of the Montana Alternative Student Testing (MAST) Pilot is to implement “through year” assessments across the state that can eventually replace the traditional end-of-year state summative assessments and satisfy federal testing requirements.
