Douglass Elementary is an amazing school with a focus on academics that is supplemented nicely with a brilliant art teacher, strong music teachers and a beloved P.E. teacher. My kids love it!

3 girls who are or have gone to Douglass. Wonderful teachers who are very experienced and support kids at all levels. The atomosphere is fun, safe, and conducive to learning. Parent support is excellent.

This school has an incredible amount of parent support/involvement. Extra help is always available in the classroom when teachers need it. Many of the teachers have been at Douglass for 20+ years and all are wonderful. We are also very lucky to have excellent music (Mrs. Roberge) and art teachers (Mrs. Deyo).

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.
