Arvada K-8

Kids would make fun of my kid and she would tell because its happened almost all year, and all the teachers and staff would do is talk the students. It was the same kids all year that would make fun for her. The thing that make it worst is that it was boys messing with a girl to the point that she came crying home. Also some girl said they were gonna fight her.

We've had the privilege of experiencing the Peak Expeditionary School community for nearly four years now. As a parent who is highly involved, I regularly observe firsthand how deeply the staff care for our kids and families and engage in meaningful ways unique to each student. I continue to be amazed that so many staff know every single student as well as most caregivers. For us, it feels like an extension of our family. Our child LOVES going to school!!! The staff and teachers are flexible, conscientious, caring, creative, dedicated, and insightful, and they deeply value working together. I so appreciate that this community welcomes dialogue and feedback and will make adjustments when positive outcomes can be gained. We've faced some behavior challenges over the years which were all met with honest and supportive conversations with teachers and the principal. Peak truly strives to be a safe place where kids can learn and grow and be challenged holistically. I resoundingly believe being part of this Peak CREW has fundamentally changed my expectations for what is possible within the school setting. We feel so fortunate that we discovered the ideal learning environment for our child (who is thriving) while also unexpectedly gaining access to such a remarkable community of humans.

we park in the hug and go and i got out and went to say by to my kids and the principal came out and yelled at me i would not recommend this school

My children attended Mountain Phoenix from ECE all the way through 8th grade, and it was truly a gift to our family. The teachers nurtured not just their academics, but their curiosity and sense of self. Today, both of my kids are in high school and still carry a genuine love of learning that was sparked at MPCS. The community and the Waldorf-inspired education gave them a foundation that continues to serve them.

I have attended Two Roads Charter School since 6th grade and am now a senior. I’ve been here long enough to see significant changes over the years.In my experience, the curriculum in the high school grades has become far too basic. Classes often cover material that feels more appropriate for much younger students (elementary/middle school level), which leaves high schoolers under-challenged and unprepared for the real world—whether that’s college coursework, trade skills, independent living, or basic problem-solving. Multiple teachers have openly expressed to students that they don’t fully understand the purpose or rigor behind the assigned curriculum they’re required to teach.This shift, which I attribute largely to decisions under Principal Wendy Noel’s leadership, has contributed to declining academic rigor and, for many students including myself, frustration and disengagement. While the school may still work well for elementary students or those needing a very flexible, low-pressure environment, it falls short for families seeking strong college prep, real-world readiness, or athletic/extracurricular depth.I regret staying all these years and strongly encourage parents to explore other options in the Jeffco area. Visit in person, talk to current high school students and recent graduates, review recent test scores and college outcomes, and compare carefully before enrolling. Two Roads was once a stronger fit for me, but it no longer feels like the right choice for serious high school academics.

Stevens has teaching approaches for all types of kids and learning styles. Strong community feel and incredible teaching staff.
