My son has been bullied there for a year and a half. We are pulling him out next week because the best we have gotten from them is having a child write anaoplogy letter to him stating next time, my son should yell stop. never ONCE did the child take responsibility for his actions or apologize. For a school and a district with a zero tolerance policy for bullying, they get a failing grade every day.

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.
