This school does nothing about bullying. The teachers barely try to educate the students. When a student has bad handwriting the teacher does nothing about it but complain and give them bad scores instead of trying to understand. The sanitization is absolutely terrible. My kids bring home a new sickness constantly… I am stuck sitting here why we provide cleaning supplies and tissues. When it’s snowing outside and you want to drop your kid off even a few minutes early.. Forget about it! They won’t let your kid inside until it’s breakfast time so my kids just sit outside and freeze. The teachers will pass the kids and go inside and just ignore them. However the teachers with kids will let their kids in, which isn’t fair at all!

This school is bad. This is the only review of the school you will need.1.Vaping and drug problems with students.2. The teachers are fantastic, but the admin is horrible. 3.Reconsider sending your child here if you have any faithbased/conservative views. 4. The school food is also just bad and not good for your kid. Most end up bringing their own lunch or not eating the school food.5. Over crowded. If theres nearly as many kids there as when I was, the hallways were packed.

This school supports all students and helps me as a student with special needs succeed. Many of the negative reviews are from when the school had a different principal. I have had bad experiences with some teachers but most are thoughtful and expect all students. Although this school has some dumb rules and high goals. I have found that they do a lot to help students succeed.

During the toughest 2 years with Covid, the leadership at Columbine prevailed for our students!! Mr. Christy (Principal) is one of the BEST Principals in Colorado. He truly cares about the students. Great sports programs, Honors and AP classes. The teachers are amazing support for our children! It's truly a family atmosphere!! Highly recommend!

We love this school! Our child had the best experience attending this school. Teachers and all the staff are amazing.

Unfortunately All five of my siblings and I had the "opportunity" to go to D'Evelyn. However as many would assume/expect that we were lucky, it was the complete opposite experience. I would never recommend this school to anyone... it is actually HORRIBLE. Review written by Giada Franzese

If you care about your child's education, then do not go to this school. No grades, no real guidance, no discipline, no structure and no motivation geared towards actual education. It does not hold kids accountable, does not teach responsibility and does not set kids up for success.

This school only works for a very small number of learners.The quality of teachers is really hit or miss. The ideology behind this learning environment is student lead learning. Unfortunately if you have anything other than an outstanding teacher the student is left to fail academically while shouldering the blame for not being self-directed. A few students thrive, unfortunately many are poorly prepared academically for life after high school. The administration is unwilling or unable to fully accept responsibility for the safety of their students during school hours. Drug use, alcohol consumption, and sex on campus does occur at this secondary school which shares a campus with K-6. Do not accept the hype that the community environment is so great that these students respect the rules. I was recently informed that 1/2 of the class in one of my students electives chooses to regularly not attend that class. No attendance is recorded and they are simply unaccounted for during this time. This did not seem problematic to the teacher at all. I'm unsure how this compares to other schools. I was surprised this type of behavior existed, since the number of students that are enrolled at JCOS is so low, and the advisers claim to be deeply invested. The administration's response is that the students are choosing to break the rules and it is not the schools philosophy to police them. There are very few extra curricular activities offered through the school. There is almost no focus on physical education. PE classes that do exist have almost entirely male enrollment. A holistic approach to education is not embraced here. The exceptional outcome that occasionally occurs at this school is promoted as the norm. Please be aware that it is not.
