Tolland CMT and CAPT Scores Released

The town well exceeds the state averages on both tests.

In Tolland, the town still well exceeds the state averages in both CMT and CAPT scores. Scores decreased in every category when comparing 2011 fourth-grade CMT performance to 2012 scores, while grades three, five and seven saw universal increases from last year.

In releasing the CMT and CAPT test scores for individual districts this year, the state Department of Education said that CMT scores — given to students in grades 3 through 8 — improved incrementally while CAPT performance — administered to 10th-graders and required for graduation — was mixed.

"While student performance increased in all content areas when compared to the CAPT baseline year of 2007, it decreased in some areas when compared to last year," the department said in a news release. "As compared to 2011, performance increased slightly in writing, remained relatively constant in science and reading, and decreased in mathematics."
