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.

Sophomores and Junior parents:
Your student can sign up to take the PSAT/NMSQT, which will be administered on Wednesday, October 12. The test can give students extra experience taking standardized tests, and it is also the qualifying test for juniors to become National Merit Scholars. The cost is $18, and students can sign up at the secondary front office.
Last day to sign up: September 5.
Do you have friends who are tired of feeling like their student is just a number? One of our favorite parts of the day is welcoming our scholars every morning. We greet every student with a smile and a handshake or high-five. Of all of the benefits of being a charter school, or highlight is knowing every one of our students. We will always have room for one more handshake in our morning routine. Enroll now at twinpeaksclassical.org
And finally, our seniors will be visiting CU Denver in Denver, Colorado! We are excited to have our students learn more about their options after high school. Details will be emailed out next week!
