My child was at this school for a year, and it was wonderful! The teachers there were a great help. The principal is very involved and is a gentle disciplinarian which is great! I never had problems with the staff, they are very helpful. We are moving out of state but if we could stay we definitely would. We would definitely recommend this school.

This school is such a great school. I was there for 7 years and I learned so much. I also made great friends during these years. Kullerstrand has great students, and a better staff. I would recommend this school to lots of parents!

this school was good in teacher quality, but discipline was very unfair. The principal was very quiet yet strict he was always gone and barely came into check on classes.

My family has been with this school for 4 kids for the last 5 years. We have one that has some developmental challenges and one that is always above his current grade level. The school has managed to meet our needs and exceeded our expectations.

My daughter gets all the attention she needs. Programs for advanced readers at all levels. Great exposure to different cultures and languages. Good education in a real world setting.

We had a horrible experience with this school. The administration was incompetant and played favorites and the principal told me at recess the children are not allowed to play in groups larger than 3 because of 'discipline problems'. Are you kidding me? These are elementary kids! why can't you control little kids? My daughter's teacher was amazing but seemed frustrated at the ridiculous policies and behaviors of the principal and her horrid staff. I would not recommend this school to my worst enemy!

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.
