TES is an amazing school! There is a high level of communication between the parents, teachers and administration. Parental involvement within the classrooms is welcomed and encouraged. The school offers access to a large amount of extra-curricular activities with the opportunity parental/community involvement.for There is a great sense of school pride and a spirit of cooperation and respect amongst the students.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Vermont used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing and grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP reading, math, and writing tests are given in the fall and test students on content taught in the previous year. The science portion of the NECAP is administered in the spring each year. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Vermont. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
