The principals were raised around here and they need to go to others schools in Colorado or the United States where they will not be bias. The are not helpful, a good kid getting caught up, is the one blamed. If the principals were moved somewhere else they would not have good ole boy mentalities.

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.
