This is a great school. My children receive a wonderful education. The teachers, principal, and staff are wonderful. They care about the children and go the extra mile to ensure they all succeed.

This is a great school. The teachers are wonderful and very responsive to the children's needs. This school has a very friendly atmosphere for the kids and parents too. Their scores continue to rise and the kids are having fun while improving thier scores. I would recomend this school to anyone.

The principal's only focus is reading to the extent that other subjects are sacrificed. There is little to no continuity between classes or grades in any subject unless the classes are being taught together by the same teacher.

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.
