Posted May 29, 2007

I have a daughter entering 3 grade next year. The teachers and staff have been excellent as far as my daughters experience. I have a son entering 1st grade who has special needs and he has an IEP outlining what he needs. I believe the school is doing what they can for him within their district budget. All his teachers are loving and firm when they have to be because he can push the distraction level. I am disappointed though that Ms Garcia is being transferred to another school per Dr Covington and we are getting another principal who only has 1 more year until he retires.

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.
