WY-TOPP Math Practice

About the WY-TOPP

WY-TOPP — the Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress — replaced PAWS in 2018 and is Wyoming's annual math test for grades 3 through 8 plus grade 10. The test is built on the 2018 Wyoming Mathematics Content and Performance Standards, the state's Common Core-derived framework, and is delivered online by Cambium through the same TIDE platform used by several SBAC states. Unlike a Smarter Balanced administration, WY-TOPP also bundles fall and winter interim assessments and a modular block-style design, so districts get growth data three times a year on the same blueprint.

WY-TOPP math reports four performance levels — Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced — and uses Proficient as the federal accountability bar in Wyoming Accountability in Education Act (WAEA) school ratings. Each summative math test runs about 90 minutes total, fixed-form (not adaptive), and is given in a four-week window from early April through early May. Aggregate results are published each fall on the WDE Fusion data dashboard, and family score reports are returned through the school district. Sub-score feedback follows the four Wyoming math content categories rather than the SBAC claims structure.
