PARCC Testing Results:
All students in grades three through five take a state assessment in the spring called the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career, also known as PARCC. This assessment looks at achievement in reading, writing, and math. Fifth grade students also take the CMAS, or the Colorado Measure of Academic Success that measures their knowledge of science concepts. Iron Horse students outperformed the state and district in the areas of Science and English Language Arts. Students had inconsistent achievement in the area of math. As a new math resource (EnVisions) was implemented two years ago, it is typical to see inconsistencies until the resource is fully established. Iron Horse is committed to providing an excellent education for our students, and will continue to work to support our students' achievement in these areas.
