Kiowa has been a wonderful school for my three children. One of them will graduate at the top of the class and the scholarships are waiting, the other two are straight A students. Everyone is friendly, helpful and they really care about my kids and welcome my involvement.

I think the quality of academics in the Kiowa Elementary School is good. When you add in the ratio of students to teachers it is better than most. My daughter gets personal help with her reading two out of the four days weekly that they attend school. Everyone knows everyone which also means that someone is always watching out for your kids if you aren't around at the moment. The only downside is that because the kids do not go to school on Friday they have longer schooldays, my kids get home between 4:15 and 4:30 and school starts at 7:25 AM. There is also no bus system so you have to be able to take them to school and pick them up.

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.
