Natrona County School District’s K-12 assessment system measures student’s progress toward the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards. The District Assessment System is a statutory requirement in the state of Wyoming. The Natrona County School District 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 K-12 District Assessment System (DAS) aims to ensure equity of opportunity for students by demonstrating alignment of district assessments in content and cognitive complexity to the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards in all content areas.
The District Assessment System was developed by NCSD Subject Area Committee members using a systematic process aligned with the published district Curriculum.
