I have been to Heaton for my 6th and 7th grade years. its an average school. There are alot of gangs, fights, and some crtisism..............but overall when u get to the good kids they are friendly and welcoming. The principal during 6th grade held the school well, but in 7th they switched and a new one came, which didnt put hisfoot down as much........now when i visit half the school is wearing innappropriate uniform, they have all kinda of piercings on their face, and some kids are failing. BUT compared to Risley or Roncalli, it is a waaaaaaaaaaaay better school. The best in the district because the rest are terrible

This school is wonderful. People make such a big deal about CCA but i honestly think Heaton is a better school by far. My daughter has suprised me with all the stuff she knows and tells me. This school also has the best sports. I recommend this school to any child and parents.

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.
