Terrible school starting with the principal Culture of intimidation. Teachers scared of the administration. Students scared of the staff.


Posted August 1, 2012

I was thoroughly impressed with my daughter's experience as a Pre-k student at Goldrick during the year of 2011-12. Her teacher, Mrs. Kourtney and para teacher, Mrs. Arola were phenomenal in their teaching and connecting with the students. I felt as though they both really cared for my daughter's education and for her as a person. We are no longer living in this neighborhood and will miss seeing these teachers and truly appreciate all they provided for her this past year. I know Denver Public School teachers have a lot to deal with and get a lot of negative feedback when it comes to educating all the various types of learners. However, I applaud them all and wish this district the best of luck in its endeavors to become better!

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.
