Our child has been going to Patrick Henry for 2 years now. In pre school we had no problems, but now that he started kindergarden we have had nothing but problems. The latest, he was suspended for the day because he yelled out in class and was acting silly according to the referral we got when we picked him up. I have never heard of a child (especially a 5 year old) getting suspended for yelling out in class and acting silly. I am glad we are taking him out of this school, I forsee nothing but more problems.

Henry Elementary has great programs and is a high caliber school. We are a military family, and were attracted to Henry because of the high academic standards that are set, and met. The school has outstanding teachers, who go above and beyond the call of duty to meet the children's needs. Our daughter has attended Henry for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade and in class the teachers have challenged her to learn and grow. Parents are given the opportunity to be involved in may ways throughout the year, either in your child's classroom or in other areas of the buildling. The teachers and school staff are caring and sensitive to all the students needs and take the childrens safety very seriously. Henry Elementary is a wonderful school with many great programs.

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.
