Our daughter has attended Prairie Crossing since Kindergarten. She is in second grade and reads at a level ver a year ahead. This school has an outstanding principal, dedicated staff and, overall, is excellent. Mr. Hruby, second grade, is one of the best teachers we have encountered. Her school started with Mrs. Kirshner, a top kindergarten teacher. We could not be happier.

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.
