This is a horrible school that treats its minorities very different if your child is not mexican don't expect them to be treated the same. and they tell you that you can buy the school uniforms anywhere but the school will tell you that if they provide them they can be any shade but if you buy them and its a shade off they will make your child change their shirt. the test scores have dropped 30% since they enforced uniforms at this school. I would not recommend this school to anyone of any minority or majority.

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.
