Ryan Elementary is a really special place, where everyone is unified with the same goal, to make the best educational experience possible for each and every child. We choice-enrolled both of our sons into Ryan Elementary, and had a uniformly positive experience. The teachers at Ryan are superb--they know those kids and what each one needs to do their best, and they genuinely care about each kid's learning and well-being as an entire individual. Time and again, I observed teachers and staff going above and beyond, working together to figure out how to improve their teaching, even when they were already doing a great job. Ryan is a supportive environment, where the staff hold themselves to high standards and keep the kids' best interests front and center. I was particularly impressed by the way that the teachers, paras, and social-emotional experts were able to tailor their services to students with varied needs--kids on IEPs or special ed needs, kids with Advanced Learning Plans or who were identified as gifted and talented, and kids who had strengths in areas that were in areas outside of the traditional core academic areas, like music and art. Principal Kristi Shaner is a strong and responsive leader, who effectively seeks out and balances feedback from her staff, parents, and objective data about students' performance and how that compares to district and state-level performance. Ryan is a gem; Westminster residents are lucky to have access to the school and those of us in neighboring communities are lucky to be able to choice into the school. They do so much with a modest budget and despite Jeffco's relatively poor teacher salaries. I would enroll my kids there again, in a heartbeat, and count myself fortunate to have been a part of their community.

I love this school but if I am being honest it’s kind of bad there are fights breaking out like everyday and the teachers don’t even know also every one says really bad words all the time and I personally think that they should be more strict about that though most of the teachers are amazing

I transferred here my sophomore year from Ralston Valley. And although Standley Lake isn't perfect, I had a great experience there and I recommend that people come to this school. The theatre program at this school is pretty good for a smaller school. There is a fall play and spring musical, an improv troupe, and a decent variety of theatre classes. I personally had a great time participating in theatre at Standley Lake. Everyone was really nice and supportive of each other .The teachers are also pretty good and the school itself is nice. I think most people wouldn´t have any trouble making friends here and I think that SLHS is a good place to go school.
