Our precious little school is so amazing. It is like homeschooling with the help of the entire community! Child count for the entire school usually runs between 25-35 for the year between K-8 grades. If you are looking for a quiet, compassionate town to raise your family - LOOK NO FURTHER!

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.
