I have a child that goes to Lake as I did when I was his age although I respect all the comments about this school I have my own opinion. When I went to this school years ago I thought there couldn't be a worse school the teachers were old and worn down from all the years of abuse from the children and the kids that attended were completely out of control, hanging out of windows urinating in the halls it was a disaster of a school. My son is in an IEP (individual education plan) for a emotional disorder, and the center based programs happens to be at Lake my initial thought was he couldn't be worse off, I couldn't have been more wrong this school has been a god send, the teachers are young and enthusiastic, they are excited to teach which in turn has a direct effect on our kids. Mi case after school program is a wonderful safe place for the kids to go until the working parents get off and pick them up. This school can be whatever make of it, either a tool for your future success or a battle ground for your demise, make good choices kids!!!

I do not recomend this school if your child has add or adhd. They do not have the patience to deal with the kids like they should. There is no accountability as teachers and pricipal as well as the liason for this school.

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.
