I have been an active parent at Littleton Prep for three years and find the longer I keep my children there the more disappointed I become. I will not be bringing my children back next year because I find that the current principal in far too uneducated(ask for her credentials) and inexperienced to

Upon trying to discuss several issues either in reguards to my younger or older child I found a genuine uninterest from the administration and sadly the teachers. I have seen dramatic changes over the last two years- good staff and administrationa are leaving as well as the children are becoming more high need. Becuase the good teachers are leaving the quality students are leaving as well. Read less

My children both attend Littleton Prep and it is an excellent school! The structure and discipline is well formed, yet compassionate and beneficial. The curriculum is excellent, and the staff go above and beyond to make it a wonderful learning environment for children. There is plenty of communication

And anytime I have felt I've not gotten enough feedback, or had a concern about my child - the teachrs and staff have been more than willing to listen, communicate or find a solution to the problem. While I strongly suspect my very precocious, active and easily bored child would be labelled a 'troublemaker' at other local schools, both my children thrive at LPCS. There is no reason to be bored - no child's needs or abilities are overlooked or unmet. It's great! Read less

In the beginning, I was very impressed with LPCS based on the level of knowledge and curriculum that my daughter was bringing home. Even in Kindergarten I was amazed everyday with her growing knowledge. She is now almost finished with 2nd grade and I am pulling her out of the school. The quality of
... Read more the curriculum has not gone down, it is the school's participation and genuine caring for a student's success that has me disappointed. My daughter repeatedly gets the same remarks on her report card but with no assistance or communication from the teachers. She brings home assignments and tests with 80-100% and yet gets poor grades on report cards with negative remarks. The lack of communication and support from the teachers is heart breaking. I can't believe a school that offers such advanced material and education has failed to pay attention to the students themselves. Read less

As a parent I was very disappointed with the education my sons were receiving in the public schools and desperately wanted better for them.

We attended Littleton Prep. Charter School for 2 years with great expectations. We were deeply disappointed. From the top administration and parent governing board to the teachers and staff, there was great dissention at this school about the vision/charter and daily running of the school. My hope

LIttleton Prep Charer school was founded as a traditional academic school guided by a mission of high academic achievement. Its instruction heavily relies on the direct instruction methodology combined with the Core Knowledge curriculum. Ability grouping is employed for skills classes, such as math,

Read more spelling, reading and English. 65% of the student body comes from outside the Littleton District and 30% is minority, yet the school matches the average score of other Littleton District schools. Students wear uniforms. Discipline problems appear to be less severe than the average public school in its surrounding area. Music, art and sports programs are limited or offered on a part-time basis. The school is a good choice for parents wanting their child to get a good solid traditional education in an environment less prone to the types of social and discipline problems that can plauge many public schools, especially in the middle school grades.

This school is amazing! My son is has mild learning disabilities, but has absolutely thrived here. The school is definitely academically rigorous, so it isn't for everyone. But if you want a very high-quality, traditional-style education for your child, and your child is willing to work for it,

The teachers are truly fabulous, the curriculum is research-based and rock-solid, and the school environment is extremely positive and orderly, while still being 'kid-friendly.' This isn't one of those all-white, upper-middle class typical suburban schools. The student body is very diverse - something we searched for. The school has a unique leadership structure (three directors instead of one principal) that works very well and really utilizes each director's experience and strengths. Parent communication is excellent, with a great school-wide newsletter, website, classroom newsletters and prompt telephone calls. Parents are happy, kids are happy, and test scores look really great! Read less
