I am so excited to rate Centennial Elementary School! The school is clean and well maintained. It has had a lot of renovation and the technology in the computer lab is stellar. The PTA group along with other parent groups are very active...and supportive. The teaching staff are dedicated to our children. Many of the educators have masters degrees and seem very capable. The art and music programs are fantastic. The physical education teacher provides extra programs (such as the bike rodeo) for the physical health and safety of our children. Students that need extra assistance are immediately put into small groups and are given that little extra one on one. I believe that everyone is working hard for the best interest of my children.

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.
