Our daughter is in the BD program at this school and Mrs Thomas and Mrs Parker have been excellent with her. You walk into the school and everyone is friendly. The halls are covered with classroom projects to show what the children have been doing. They encourage parent participation with classes on nutrition, adult ed to learn English and classes to help parents understand what their children are doing for homework.

2010 - First time at this school. Very disatisfied with concern for student progress and well being. Extremely disorganized structure from classroom to lunchroom. Absolutely no home work is given. I would not choose to send my children here - now searching for alternatives.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.
