An amazing school for little learners. As a parent, there nothing better than knowing my daughter is well taken care of, and getting a consistant, invaluable education from Pomona Elementary School.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted June 14, 2007

Pomona Elementary was a great school for my child who attended kindergarten. The school provided kindergarten enrichment program in the afternoons for a small fee Monday-Friday. They also offered extended hours before and after school for the working parents. Pomona curriculum included PE twice a week and music class once a week. I would recommend this school to others.

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.
