Posted April 27, 2007

As a former student, I look back at my four years at Palisade High and the memories are nothing but fond. The teaching staff prepared me for learning at the University level and the relationships I made with those teachers has shown to be invaluable. I can e-mail anyone of my former teachers and they will help me with a paper or project with the same kind of care and respect that I recieved while in school.
—Submitted by Josh Ehlers, a former student

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.
