Low teacher student ratios! Gifted talented programs available. Art, music, and PE are all offered at this school. Not so at our last supposedly superior school. Many extras outside of school time offer because of the Wright Stuff Foundation. Homework club is also offered most nights. I am at a loss on how we would improve this school. CSAP test scores are rising yearly.

School District is losing funds due to drop in enrollment, so quality of programs is limited. Parental involvement is satisfactory. Availability of music and art is limited. Sports is a key activity as with any small town district.

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.
