Excellent teachers. I have had 3 children attend this school, and each child has had an increasingly better experience.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted June 17, 2008

This is a great school with wonderful teachers. They seem to be really in tune to each child and the classes are not over crowded. I ony wish they had more extra curricular activities for the elementary students to choose from.
—Submitted by Wendy, a parent

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.
