I go to this school, do not recommend. Way too much drama, and overall a complete joke.

Excellent! After moving several times with my husband’s job, we have found our forever home and community. I cannot express the gratitude our family has for the privilege to call Elk Creek Elementary home. Admin and teachers are phenomenal!

Conifer High School has been a phenomenal environment for our son to learn academically and socially. He is challenged during class as well as in the clubs and sports he has chosen to be involved in. He knows that if he needs additional help he can turn to any of the teachers or staff for additional instruction or coaching. He also knows that his mental health is valued and when stress creeps in (as it does for all high school students) he has a network of people available to help him out. The staff knows every student and maintains high academic and ethical standards. Issues that arise are addressed immediately in a fair and equitable manner. I can honestly not imagine a better atmosphere for a student to succeed!

This school supports all students and helps me as a student with special needs succeed. Many of the negative reviews are from when the school had a different principal. I have had bad experiences with some teachers but most are thoughtful and expect all students. Although this school has some dumb rules and high goals. I have found that they do a lot to help students succeed.

We love this school! Our child had the best experience attending this school. Teachers and all the staff are amazing.

Unfortunately All five of my siblings and I had the "opportunity" to go to D'Evelyn. However as many would assume/expect that we were lucky, it was the complete opposite experience. I would never recommend this school to anyone... it is actually HORRIBLE. Review written by Giada Franzese

If you care about your child's education, then do not go to this school. No grades, no real guidance, no discipline, no structure and no motivation geared towards actual education. It does not hold kids accountable, does not teach responsibility and does not set kids up for success.

This school only works for a very small number of learners.The quality of teachers is really hit or miss. The ideology behind this learning environment is student lead learning. Unfortunately if you have anything other than an outstanding teacher the student is left to fail academically while shouldering the blame for not being self-directed. A few students thrive, unfortunately many are poorly prepared academically for life after high school. The administration is unwilling or unable to fully accept responsibility for the safety of their students during school hours. Drug use, alcohol consumption, and sex on campus does occur at this secondary school which shares a campus with K-6. Do not accept the hype that the community environment is so great that these students respect the rules. I was recently informed that 1/2 of the class in one of my students electives chooses to regularly not attend that class. No attendance is recorded and they are simply unaccounted for during this time. This did not seem problematic to the teacher at all. I'm unsure how this compares to other schools. I was surprised this type of behavior existed, since the number of students that are enrolled at JCOS is so low, and the advisers claim to be deeply invested. The administration's response is that the students are choosing to break the rules and it is not the schools philosophy to police them. There are very few extra curricular activities offered through the school. There is almost no focus on physical education. PE classes that do exist have almost entirely male enrollment. A holistic approach to education is not embraced here. The exceptional outcome that occasionally occurs at this school is promoted as the norm. Please be aware that it is not.
