The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) at Castle Rock School District

The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) offers supplemental services for K–12 students scoring below grade-level standard in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.

These services focus on accelerating student growth to make progress towards grade level and addressing barriers preventing students from accessing core instruction.

The intent is for LAP-served students to increase academic growth during the period of time they are provided services.

All Castle Rock Schools receive funding for LAP programs.
