Friendly, receptive, accessible staff and admin. Opportunities to become as invovled as you'd like as a parent. Nice, small community, good sports programs.

Small rural school; nice class sizes. Academic rigor slightly limited by size.

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.
