I would definitely not recommend this school at all. They only care about image and not wanting to do their jobs. I had a friend go to a counselor because she wanted to lose her life, and they just told her to make an appointment. They do not care about students well beings. They just definitely pick there favorites and bully the other students.

Not to discount the negative experiences here, but I’m truly grateful for our neighborhood school, and I feel like my daughter is thriving. I think the school tries to set strict standards and overall works hard to ensure a positive experience for all. After years of being unsuccessful starting a club at my daughter’s elementary school, the school was supportive for starting the future city club from day 1. I know the teacher supporting the club- Mrs. Gardner best and she’s incredibly supportive of different learning styles and those who don’t fit the “cookie cutter” mold. We are definitely not cookie cutter people, but I think the school is doing a great job of creating a safe a nurturing environment. I know special education can be very challenging- the school actively tries to meet everyone’s needs. We are lucky that our daughter is on the higher percentile end of the spectrum, and I don’t feel that even her needs are being met exactly but unless you have a very low student to teacher ratio with an incredibly tailored experience, I think that’s going to be impossible. All of my interactions with the school, teachers, principal, and staff have been positive. I have felt heard, and I feel like my daughter is seen and cared for. The security guard has a fun finding the ducks game with the kids throughout the school, and there have been many occasions of fun events and activities that seem above and beyond from a typical public school experience. Newton earns a well deserved almost 5 stars from us, but I will definitely adjust if I see any reason to. I’m sorry to those families that have had a negative experience, but for those reading, I wouldn’t avoid this school. Please be positive and voice your concerns to the staff of there are any issues because I think the school very actively tries to do their best and hold everyone to positive values.

We have been very impressed and pleased with the curriculum and sense of community at this school.While the facilities are in need of some improvements (the gym is small and dank, there is no stage/theater and the cafeteria is depressing, but the library is updated and cute), the overall educational experience has been great.Kids engage in lots of creative and challenging learning activities that strive to meet them at their level. My son has had wonderful teachers, made steady progress and he runs into school excitedly every day.I do think there could be more opportunities for communicating with parents directly about their individual students, but the school does send regular updates about community events.

Great school! Teachers and administration are wonderful, and facilities are very nice! One of the few schools in the Denver Metro offering Orton Gillingham which makes it really stand out. The teachers, principal and all the staff supporting have gone above and beyond with our children. We feel blessed to be at this school!
