Sadly, this school put my child with special needs in danger and then completely abandoned her. This was our home district and we were happy to get my children into what we thought was a kind and inclusive school community. The problem at Miles wasn't the teachers, they are caring and creative, the problem is poor resources and ineffective and inflexible administration. The district will try to get out of paying anything they can for students with special needs. I had a letter documenting my child's need for an aide from her developmental pediatrician and they had the data from the school showing she clearly needed 1:1 support but they still would not provide it due to the cost. When my 5 year old got away from her teacher who was in charge of a whole kindergarten class and ran into a busy street they finally recognized that she needed some aide support. That was several months into the year when she had already been endangered by their reckless policies. Then when school went to online only in March 2020 and my 6 year old child with special needs could not learn that way, admin just gave up and refused to educate her. They would not bring her in for tutoring or any services, nothing, even though her special ed teacher recognized that she could not learn online and wanted to teach her in person and felt she could do it safely, admin refused and completely abandoned her. The school has remained shuttered for an entire year now, 12 months, to students who desperately needed in person education, what a travesty, I feel terribly for any students stuck in TUSD who needed in person education and have list out on so much. I am so incredibly thankful we got our kids into CFSD, they are doing an excellent job educating all children safely even during a challenging year and are a much more welcoming and inclusive community!

This school needs updated reviews! The principal, Mrs Sanders is amazing. All the teachers are great and really caring about the students. They have alot of great extra curriculars and programs and they do alot to give back to the community as well. Im so glad we found this school for my daughter to thrive in. I do wish bullying was addressed more but it doesn't happen more here than elsewhere

I am a teacher with 20 years experience. I have taught at 7 schools, and of these 7 Van Buskirk is the school that I would rate the highest. Teachers collaborate, the principal is supportive, and the children are eager to learn. The Opening Minds through the Arts program allows every child to learn math, reading, science and other subjects through fun, stimulating lessons. The teachers are concerned with helping children learn to think creatively and critically, rather than just having them memorize facts.

This school sets you up well for the future with a great counseling department and effective teachers. Yes, there is a hefty workload, but this is communicated to incoming students before they enroll. It has a good environment and a helpful staff. If a student can stick with it and get through their freshman year, I can guarantee they will be successful through their high-school career and beyond.

I considere Pueblo excellent, a school is not a building, we made the school, if there is something that we don't like from the school, we need to start making some changes on us. what we look to see in our school, we have to put it in. Yo considero que Pueblo es excelente, una escuela no es el edificio, nosotros hacemos la escuela, si hay algo que no nos gusta de la escuela, tenemos que empezar hacer algunos cambios en nosotros, Lo que queremos ver en Pueblo lo tenemos que poner nosotros, la comunidad de pueblo.

This program helps students who cannot attend classes for a variety of reasons. This helps students attain their education despite difficult circumstances.
