School Focus
Longs Peak focuses on high academic and behavioral standards for all students. Click here for a copy of the student handbook. There is also a Parent Information Handbook available here in English and Spanish. All grade level teachers use common reading, writing, and math rubrics as well as common assessments. Throughout the year, enrichment and remediation classes are implemented, and the staff continues to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all learners. As a result, reading, writing, and math scores continue to increase as shown by CSAP test scores and the STAR reading comprehension assessment.
