Interim New Mexico Measures of Student Success & Achievement (i‑MSSA) | Grades 3-8 | Formative/Interim

Interim Measure of Student Success and Achievement (iMSSA) assessments are available for beginning-, middle-, and end-of-year administration windows set by PED in grades 3-8, Reading, Writing & Language Usage, and Math. While New Mexico requires that all districts and charter schools administer an interim assessment in regular intervals, use of the iMSSA is optional. Schools that have an improvement designation in NM Vistas must
participate in the iMSSA assessment as outlined in the memorandum of April 23, 2026.
