Rim Rock Elementary is a wonderful place for kids. The teachers are kind, caring and concerned about providing a good learning environment. I am always greeted with a smile upon entering the building by the office staff. The principal, Tami Kramer is always out with the kids, talking with them about how their day is going. It is refreshing to see so many people commited to our children in one place.

Rim Rock is a great school. I recommend it to anyone looking for perfect teachers, kind staff, parent involvement, or a good learning environment for there kids. The principals are really cool and Mr. Haffy is supper funny. All the staff is totally committed to there job and they make learning fun. Also R.O.A.R. is nice because it allows children to see what their doing good and they get rewarded from it. Again, I love this school, and I think it's the best school I've ever been to and I'm upset that I only get to go this year.

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.
