Our score was 3 points higher than 2nd place, and 9 points higher than third place. We are proud of our progress, but we aren't finished yet! We're proud to be a part of the Timberwolf Nation!
Introducing our Kind Kindergarten Team: Katie Robison, Julie Ahrens, Aimee Sanvig, Allison Searls, Padma Avula, Renee Marcacci! They love helping our fabulous five year olds learn lettter sounds and identify numbers at the beginning of the school year!
Twin Peaks Classical Academy is the top high school in the district according to the Colorado Department of Education. The state's School Performance Framework is considered the report card for public schools in Colorado which helps families determine which schools provide the best academic opportunities.
Considering we were also the top high school in the district according to the PSAT9 and the PSAT10, the only high school measure we did not receive the top score for was the SAT. Congratulations to Silver Creek for earning that mark.
We received three of the top four measures. Next year, we're going for the clean sweep.
Meet our Primo Preschool Team: Leslie Chrysler, Ashlee Teegardin, and Holli Linton! They work hard to make sure our tiniest tots get all they need to prepare them for Kindergarten!
