I just submitted my review and like all the other times, I was told to add something and after I did, it took me back to this screen. I would like to get involved in the schools programs as a tax paying grandparents. Seems like some of the teachers at this school will not reply to voice msgs or emails, so if the students are required to appologize to the community for their actions, so should the teachers.Youcan't get a straight answer form the administration office

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.
