My 2E child came here after being unceremoniously rejected by two very well-known and highly respected private schools locally (after they took our money and made false promises). This was our last step before resorting to home schooling. It turns out that my child just needed to be guided and nurtured! These teachers - these wonderful, attentive, caring teachers - brought my child from the brink of disaster to shining success. The staff here takes great care to meet each child where he or she is, and then guide them to where they need to be. They are helping to create fully-formed humans who will be able to contribute positively to our communities. Yes, bumps do happen and not every situation is handled perfectly ... teachers are still human. But this school bends over backwards to accommodate students, parents, learning obstacles and behavior challenges. They stress kindness to students at every step. And from the front office to the classroom teachers, from the principal to the special education department, nearly every adult in the building sincerely wants to help every child. Please believe me when I tell you that money can NOT buy this attitude. It comes from the top down, and is a part of the school's culture. The principal over the past couple of years truly supported and empowered teachers to make great decisions for the kids. I know not every family has the same experience... the key is finding the right school at the right time for your child, and this was clearly the right move for us. There will be a new principal next year, and all signs point to a continued positive future; I would keep my child here through high school if I could!

I was supposed to graduate from here in 2022. I was being severely bullied by students and even some staff like security were outright rude, discriminatory, and unhelpful. Very few trusted adults in this building. My school counselor helped me drop out the day I turned 17 and while I was greatful then, I wish there were more adults that encouraged me to stay rather than sign off for me to leave without a diploma.

Unfortunately my children have to stay for 1 more year at this godforsaken school; this school and just the Cherry Creek District alone does not handle bullying appropriately. I have two children who have been bullied since fifth grade in the district and every single time they go to defend themselves, They are the ones that are reprimanded when the bully gets a slap on the wrist and gets to enjoy going to school without any consequences, whereas my children get suspended or have referrals, the admin at the school 100% terrible because again they like to ignore the big problem and sweet things under the rug for image. If you can avoid sending your kids to school here I highly recommend to seek elsewhere because know that your child will be treated inappropriately and without empathy if bullying happens to your child.
