Breck elementary has the best teachers and staff. They are always supportive, caring, and creative.

IMHO, this is not a school conducive to serving kids with disabilities. I would not recommend this school, nor district, for kids with special needs.

Poor educational environment. Very insular parent groups. Poor leadership with much staff turnover, dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, poor alternatives in the area.

I love the school. The personnal attention my dyslexic son receives is incredible. We are currently trying to get certified as an IB school which is very exciting. Our kids choose what winter actvity they want to participate in whether it is downhill skiing, cross county snowbording, snowshoeing, iceskating or hockey. The kids love it. They get the afternoon off each wednesday to participate for 7 weeks! I wish to public school system had more money for other extracurricualr activities like football in the elementary schools.

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.
