I am absolutely floored at how great this school is. From the day my son started, he has had a curriculum tailored to his needs (GT). The teachers are all amazing. We have to move to Parker in the next year or so, and to be honest, I m pretty certain that no other school will ever even compare to what I get from Clayton!

This is a wonderful school with a wonderful group of teachers. They are very involved and caring. My daughter attended pre-k thru 5th. I plan to send my youngest there as well even though we are not in the district!!

I love this school and both my forth and fifth grader attended this school. I recently had to move and I am very sad that they have to change schools. Mr Fore the principle is awsome and Mrs Tribur is one of the most deticated teachers I have ever met! I most definitly reccomend this school to anyone!

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.
