Aurora Academy Charter School

Being a student in aurora central ruins your mental health for a lot of reasons

I worked here and the leadership is terrible. It has a toxic work ethic. Teachers would come into my room and scream at me. There is literally zero level of professionalism in this building.

This school is a great place to be. As of this writing, I am halfway through my 8th grade year, and I am learning so many things. Big shoutout to Mrs. Eggleston for teaching us algebra in an interesting way. The location is a little out of the way, and a bit cumbersome to deal with if you have children in other schools. The teachers are good at their jobs. We are the only school in the district that does science fair for 7th and 8th graders. There is, however, like a lot of middle schools, some slurs and derogatory comments on one's identity, albeit on a much smaller scale, because this school is tiny. Everyone knows almost everyone, and this creates some pretty nasty friend groups. From what I can see, we don't have a lot of suspensions, and our counselor, Miss Puchino, is available to meet with people and help them through the difficult times of hormones and middle school. The administration is nice and doesn't outright shut down crazy ideas, like a radio control airplane show for continuation. All in all, I would recommend this school.

We love Highline. Our daughter just finished 2nd grade, and is always excited to go to school. The teachers have always been outstanding, and do an amazing job meeting students' individual needs, whether that means a little extra help or a extra challenge. Another reviewer mentioned the last principal and vice principal leaving, and I can confirm that they were replaced. The only change I've seen is less communication from the administrators, and more from the teachers, and that's not a bad thing.

They have so many bullies up there and do nothing about it. Aren’t you supposed to go to school to get an education not be bullied but again Karma sucks.
