State Testing: Preparing for Success

At HOPE Online Learning Academy Co-Op, we are committed to academic excellence and student growth. As a public charter school, HOPE follows Colorado’s state-mandated testing requirements, which help measure student progress and ensure they are meeting essential learning goals.


Why Does My Child Take State Assessments?


State assessments are one measure of student learning. Results can provide information about:


  • How students are progressing toward Colorado Academic Standards
  • Areas of academic strength and areas for continued growth
  • Student achievement and growth over time
  • How schools and districts are supporting student learning
  • Instructional and programmatic decisions


State assessment results are not intended to represent the complete picture of a student's abilities or academic progress.

Excusal Process


Colorado law allows a parent or guardian to excuse their student from participating in state assessments.

DCSD respects every family's right to make this decision. Families who choose to excuse their student should follow the school's assessment excusal process.

Requesting Accommodations


Accommodations for testing, including requesting a paper and pencil version of the test, are granted based on documented need as outlined and requested in a student's individualized plan (IEP, 504, MLDP) prior to testing and reviewed with parents/guardians during annual meetings about these plans.


If you have questions about state assessments, testing accommodations, or the assessment excusal process, please contact HOPE’s School Assessment Coordinator (SAC), Christyn Holmes (christyn.holmes@hopeonline.org)
