My child has attended CMJH, and unfortunately our experience has been consistently disappointing, both with the staff and the school overall. As the only option in our area, we've had no choice but to continue, but if you have access to other junior high options, I'd strongly encourage exploring them. Your child will likely have a better educational experience elsewhere.

As a previous reviewer said, it might look good on paper but it’s really not. It’s a public school but the majority of the students are white privileged. It’s very prevalent in their sports department. They’ll sprinkle a little minority here and there but they always look out for the majority especially kids of alumni’s. It’s like a little community of privileged white people who do a lot of cultural appropriation-it’s their safe space to do this. The teachers are mostly young straight out of college with no experience and are very inappropriate with students. They have a dress code but you’ll see students bearing all they have. They pride themselves as one of the great high schools in Colorado Springs but it’s because of its location and sponsors. Don’t enroll your kids here if they’re a minority.

We switched from Vanguard to Broadmoor when my son was going into 3rd grade. It’s been a wonderful experience. We love this school - parents, teachers, kids, principal, curriculum.
