I attended this school, and it was very well-run, and has amazing teachers. The staff work to meet each child at their place of need.

My daughter attended Deer Creek (after moving from Connecticut) for 2 weeks and we then transfered her to Falcon Bluffs. The counselors at Deer Creek were poor at best. The bulletin boards were full of outdated material, much of which was from the previous year. When withdrawing from the school, my daughter was sent to interupt each of her classes to receive a final grade on her withdrawal slip. She was embarrassed and humiliated explaining herself in front of her peers. This school lacks leadership!

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.
