Posted February 26, 2012

I am reasonably happy with this school. They do not tolerate bullying. My has ADD. His current teacher is so interested in his progress and she puts so much effort into making sure that he succeeds. However, I can not say that for all of the teachers. Last year the teacher my son had was not encouraging to him at all. The teacher is not tolerant of children who have a hard time learning. I've heard some of the staff describe him as a bully. I can't believe that he is allowed to teach. It was so painful for me to see this, because I couldn't have him moved to another teacher. Home schooling wasn't an option because I need to work.

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.
