Madison Elementary is a very good school. Has great teachers who are willing to take the extra step to help their students.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 13, 2005

This school overall has dedicated teachers who work hard to educate the children. Most of the children are from hispanic speaking backgrounds. The school socres an overall average on their accountability reports which is an improvement from previous years. The only downside was that there was little parental input and many parents did not show up to school events.

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.
