Fantastic teachers and an adminstration that gets the importance of the three Rs, while also teaching to the child
—Submitted by a parent


Posted December 4, 2008

we have been here ever since this school opened it is a wonderful school
—Submitted by a student


Posted September 19, 2008

This school has a beautiful facility, incredibly involved parents, bright, capable students, and many dedicated teachers. Unfortunately, a handful of the teachers seem content to 'clock in' rather than engage or inspire the students. There is also a troubling tendency on the part of the administration to blame declining test scores on students who have 'choiced-in' rather than on lackluster teachers and poorly implemented 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.
