Our boys started at Ute Meadows in Jan. We Transferred the boys from Dennison Elem. Its the Best thing we could have done. The boys look forward to going to school and really enjoy the learning environment!

This school has one of the only mentally handicapped programs in the entire area and you can really tell the staff is more in tune with the children's needs. My daughter has thrived at this school and I couldn't be more happy than I currently am. We transferred her out of another neighborhood school down the street and boy the difference 2 miles makes is incredible.

Lack of leadership is a concern. Teacher quality is inconsistent at best. The principal is mainly concerned with test scores and preserving his monetary bonus. Think twice before enrolling.

We love this school! I have two daughters that attend Ute Meadows and we could not be happier. The teachers are amazing and the Principal, Mr. Weigum is the best. It is a great learning atmosphere for the kids and has ample community time for all the families. Great School!

Ute Meadows helped me alot during my years of transition, and they worked with me in every aspect of my elementary education: gifted/talented, music, and art. Thank you, Ute!

Both of my children have been at Ute Meadows since kindergarten. I have been generally impressed with the parent and teacher commitment. The kids learn when both of these things happen. The Colorado CSAP always shows the school as performing excellent so as compared to the rest of the sate the performance is as good as it gets. I highly recommend the school for parents committed to making sure their kids learn.

We have felt that the academic program was adequate, but could use improvements, especially in the area of math. We would like to see a stronger reading program including the use of phonics. Overall, the school is fairly strong but needs some academic enhancement.

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.
