Wyoming’s Alternate Assessment (WY-ALT), for students designated as a Student with the Most Significant Cognitive Disability (SMSCD), is aligned to the Wyoming Extended Standards (WYES). The WY-ALT allows students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in an appropriately rigorous assessment, and approximately 1% of students participate each year. Students in grades 3-10 are tested in ELA and mathematics. Students in grades 4, 8, and 10 are also tested in Science.
