My daughter's kindergarten year was here and she LOVED it. She didn't want to change school when we had to move. The staff is super friendly. I think the school is awesome! I was involve with my daughters class so I did get to see alot "inside" the school.

The education of the kids are great the only thing I don't like about the school is some of the attitude of the teachers towards parents. Not to mention the food is discusting. No choices for the children and they have to eat what they are serving for the day or starve.

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.
