(updated April 2025)

A few words about assessments:

These assessments are used, in part, to determine a performance score for the SWCeS and are important for maintaining our Colorado accreditation rating. Scores are also helpful to us for academic planning and college admissions.

(These tests are scheduled at the Durango Student Center)

SAT - 11th Grade Students: TBD

The State of Colorado will provide this assessment free of charge and scores on the SAT may be used for college admissions. The SAT is required by state and federal law for all students in Colorado and can be used for college entrance. The Southwest Colorado eSchool provides an opportunity for all juniors attending our school to sit for this exam. We highly encourage our students to take this exam.

(These tests are scheduled for the Durango Student Center)

PSAT-9 - 9th-grade students: TBD

PSAT-10 - 10th-grade students: TBD

During the 2024/25 school year freshmen will be offered the PSAT-9 State assessment, along with Sophomores (PSAT-10) and Juniors (SAT) in April each year.
