This is a Fantastic school with great teachers and staff! Although there are many private schools in the area, I would not even consider them due to the attention and help my girls get. Awesome, awesome, awesome-can not say it any better!

This is a Fantastic School. My boys were struggling in Aurora school. We moved into Parker and the school and teachers were able to really help them. They are doing great now.

We have experienced multiple schools, and MHE is absolutely the best of them all. When considering that there are many school options in our neighborhood (both charter and private), it is telling that MHE has the most students of any school in the district. This is due to the outstanding teachers, leadership and office staff. There is no school that can compete with MHE - it is hands down the best educational experience your child will ever have!

Excellent school. My daughter just started Kindergarten and can't wait to go there everyday. The teachers are very involved and keep you updated on your child's progress. E-mail updates are also sent out at least once a week which is very useful as I don't have time to check the website daily.

My daughter has been going to MHE since the school opened. It has been a great experience. The facility is clean and new, teachers are great and she has learned so much!

Great teachers, great principles and great personnels makes a great school, which Mammoth Heights has. Wonderful school. My child went to Mammoth Heights when we lived in an apartment and I made sure I moved into a neighborhood that goes to Mammoth Heights. Love the 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.
