My daughter has been at CCA since Kindergarten and has flourished under the teaching of the awesome staff at the school. At 8 years old my daughter has tested in the high school level in her reading and has been placed in advanced math to keep her working at her level of ability. One of the best things the school does for the children is they do not level them according to grade or age but level of ability, so children who are advanced have the additional work they need and students who need extra time and help receive what they need. I would highly recommend CCA to any family. Every child deserves the education my children are receiving there.

Dr Hernandez and his staff are dedicated to the education of all students.

This school is the greatest school in Pueblo. I have one daughter that goes to the High School, and another that goes to CCA. I know that this school will give my daughters the best education they will ever receive. Though this school is critizied by others, it stands strong, showing the commiunity that everything is possible, and if the other schools would just follow the curriculum of this school, they could be very successful.

(I am not a parent, I am a student at CCA) I went to CCA for fifth and sixth grades and I know that this school is awesome! I absolutely loved it. I enjeyed wearing uniforms because if everybody wears the same thing, you can't be judged by your clothing (for example: whether you are rich or poor people can not tell by your clothing) And most of the teachers practice 'hands-on' methods to teach. If needed, the teachers will help the students individually. So I give Cesar Chavez Academy a five star rating.

This school really cares about its students. Teachers at this school are the most dedicated thoughout the district. Our school has faced many problems because of the success we have had but that does not keep us down. Teachers respect their students and the students respect their teachers!

Truly the greatest and most dedicated school on the district. Often facing many hardships, because of this dedication and success. Example of people who try something different, make a change and are pushed back at every turn, but still persevere in the face of adversity.

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.
