Nikola Tesla Education Opportunity Center
Your so-called school "ratings" are bogus. This is one of the most highly-rated alternative schools in the entire state of Colorado. They have won numerous awards in the past few years for their increase in achievement scores with a school full of students that no other schools wanted to deal with. That is what is wrong with one-dimensional, ridiculous sites such as this.
