I'm happy with this school, I have my three children enrolled there, each year striving to make things better, security is paramount to them and the sub-director is extremely charismatic and wrapped with students and parents. there are teachers with passion in their work, of course there are exceptions, but I hope and still valued their work every day, and all parents we are encouraged to get involved because we are very, very important in the education of our children, no matter if we do not talk English very well, there are honest people willing to help. thank you all the teachers and school staff.

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.
