My daughter is about to complete 6th grade at Falcon. She has had a wonderful time this year, has learned a lot, has adjusted to middle school, and is developing socially and academically well. I find the teachers receptive and helpful. The conferences have been good for meeting teaches, and they get info out to the parents weekly. The electives are wonderful and the principal is doing a great job.

We love Falcon Bluffs! My second child will be a 7th grader this fall. The teachers are awesome, enthusiastic, and seem honestly pleased to be there. The music programs (band,orchestra, and vocal) are some of the best in town.

This school is amazing! We moved here a yr ago and the counselors and office staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. My daughter loves it here! The principal Ms Wendy Rubin is a young, very approachable hands on leader that takes pride in her school. Mr Bruno the drama teacher rocks! The school offers a very diverse enriching curriculum and is very organized. The atmosphere is positive and encourages learning. This is a simply wonderful school!

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.
