I'm a student that attended Oakland from kindergarten to 5th grade, and now I'm on my way to high school. Yayz!^^ I love the teachers when I was there. They were always so helpful and kind, that includes the principal too! I love this school because this was where I first learned English =), and where I made awesome friends! =D

I really like this school. I've noticed the teachers at this school love what they do, they are very helpful and nice. I really like the Principal also. I choose this school because I had two nieces who went here and they learned over their grade level. My daughter went on field trips every month. I love that they have movie nights. The news letter lets you know what all grades are doing for the month. The Principal keeps all parents informed on all types of G.E.D classes, how to get help getting kids shots up to date and things going on at the nearest library. It's not the newest built school but it's always cleaned and the kids does the hallway so nice and up to date on holidays and seasons. I love Oakland. Go Eagles!

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.
