Hi I am a student at Ellicott Senior High School, and even though the test scores or only average, the teachers do teach us we are supposed to know. It is just that some of my fellow classmates do not wish to get the knowledge that they are teacher us. So if you are going to blame anybody, blame the students, that wish not to learn. The teachers are doing an excellent job.

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.
