At Animas High School, we assess learning in lots of ways, using innovative strategies like Exhibitions, Student-Led Conferences and Presentations of Learning in addition to more traditional methods such as papers, quizzes and exams. Standardized tests are a piece of the assessment puzzle too, as they provide data that helps us examine student growth and how we’re doing as a school. Our administration, staff and School Excellence Committee analyze test scores annually, looking for trends and refining our practices to support student success.
The 2025/26 Assessment Calendar outlines standardized testing for the current school year.
The AHS Board of Directors has approved online administration of CMAS and PSAT/SAT tests, which we have determined–in consultation with staff, students and families–is best for our school community.
