MAST Testing Grades 3-8 / Window 3 / March 24 - May 2

"The Montana Aligned to Standards Through-Year (MAST) Program features a series of short, standards-aligned math and ELA tests that are administered throughout the year. The goal of this assessment is to develop a system that provides timely and relevant feedback for teachers and students, as well as comparable summative data for education leaders. This “classroom up” approach will provide flexible opportunities for students to demonstrate learning while providing actionable data to stakeholders throughout the education system." - Montana OPI 

During the 2024-2025 school year, the MAST program will be used as the federally required student assessment for Math and English Language Arts in grades 3-8. There will be four scheduled testing windows during the school year:
