Schools

All of the schools in the Five Star District have adopted a goal of having 95 percent of our students meeting grade level expectations in reading, writing and math. This is a rigorous goal because our grade level expectations are academically challenging, and we have a diverse student population with varying educational needs.

We measure progress toward our goal by looking at a combination of test results including the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) tests. By looking at all of these together, we get a much clearer and more accurate indication of student performance.

We're now able to provide our teachers with detailed data outlining specific areas of student achievement, so our teachers can see which students need help and in what areas. This data also helps our teachers make meaningful modifications to their daily instruction to best meet the needs of their individual classes and students.
