We feel so lucky to have found Ralston Elementary. The community is incredible. Every single teacher is fantastic, full of experience and a deep desire to be there. The PTA and parent support gives this school so many extras; such as full-time Music, Art, PE teachers with a theater production twice a year and grade level performances. They have many support professionals; including a GT, social-emotional and additional classroom paras through 2nd grade. They offer a STEM lab and hosts special events and traditions throughout the year. Our family's favorite is the Fall Festival, which hosts a number of carnival games, inflatables, a food truck and music... it's a great time for all! They offer many after school activities from Spanish, Science, Robotics, to ballet, karate, soccer... the list is full throughout the year! A priority of the school is teaching kindness, offering a kindness crew that sprinkles in kind gestures and lessons throughout the year. The schools location is about as Colorado as you get. It is tucked away among the pine trees of lookout mountain with incredible views of the rocky mountains. As you pull up to the school, you pass a buffalo herd and have many chances to see Elk in the neighborhood. What we love about this school is that you not only get some of the best education there is, but you have a true community and wonderful outdoor playground, with extremely qualified teachers and friendly staff.
