Rye Elementary has went above and beyond with helping my children's educational goals. The special education & EH department is excellent. The teachers really do care and take time for the students. In my opinion 97% of the teachers are fantastic ! The other 3% well, theres a couple in every school. The principal is excellent and is approachable by children and parents. I'd definately recomend Rye Elementary.

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.
