This school has made a tremendous transformation. It is evident that the teachers are there to teach.


Posted March 2, 2009

The school has changed in the past 3 years. They are more focused on student achievement. The teachers and principal are doing a great job! They moved from a low rating to an average rating (State Report Card) in less than 2 years. I am proud to be a parent of a Billie Martinez students.

This school is located in the NE side of Greeley. This is also the lowest income per household area of the city. Extra curricular activities are non-existent in this school.

My children attend this school at the time. I never know how my children are doing unless I go to the teachers and ask. My first grader never has homework. Because of gang problems, the children have to wear uniforms. I don't believe there can be anything worse that this. As soon as this year is over, they are out of this school. It's unbelievable. The only reason they are here is because it's more convenient for my children and I. Only one teacher in this school has really demonstrated her ability to teach. Thank you Mrs. Miller.

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.
