I personally think its to strict, and think focus needs to be more worked on towards bully kids. Things aren't followed through from my experience, and frustrated with issues delt with. Im looking forward tomove away from the general area. The district has been nothing but a problem since I've moved here over 5 years ago. Hope to see things work out for the better.

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.
