Crescent View Academy

THIS IS A SERIOUS WARNING TO ALL CCD PARENTS!This school sent us to highplains under the idea everything would be covered of or 2e student. It quickly became nothing but broken promises and a lack of faculty resolve to fix it. I have been ignored by the principal and high ups. Now my student can't get bus transport half of the time and it will cost us 700$ a month to keep having him picked up/dropped off there. Now he goes to highplains and doesn't even do school work he draws all day and spends less than 20mins daily in class. DO NOT send your kids to this or any CCD school. If you live in an area the CCD uses your property tax to pay for a circus such as this refuse to pay it until they are held accountable for shirking students off to worse conditions where now they get no educational support.

The best part of the community is the PreK program/classes. The worst of it comes from K-5. Not a safe learning environment. Most of the staff are not inviting and very dismissive. They don't try to help solve problems they would rather watch a fight go off. Some staff are okay but they never stay for after school activities, which we can't blame them fully for. If some of the kids are bad, you can imagine their parents. Worst Cheery Creek district school. No wonder Teachers leave all the time. Don't recommend it here.

As the principal of Holm Elementary, I am proud to say that we are a school that welcomes every child exactly where they are and helps them to grow to their fullest potential. Our focus is not simply on where students begin their educational journey, but on the academic, social and emotional growth they make while they are with us. At Holm, we believe every student deserves the support and opportunities they need to succeed. For students identified as Gifted and Talented, we offer services through our GT program as well as advanced math opportunities. For students who require additional support, we provide targeted interventions, special education services, Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language services, and dedicated adult support when identified through an IEP. Our commitment to the whole child continues to grow. Last year, we added a Restorative Practice Coordinator and a Liaison of Student Support to strengthen our Whole Child Model. This year, we are excited to add a second school psychologist to further support students and families. we believe social-emotional learning is woven throughout the school day and embedded in every interaction, not confined to a single scheduled lesson. Holm has consistently been recognized as an Effective School throughout Denver Public School's School Performance Framework and previously earned the Distinguished rating. In 2023, Holm was honored as a Center of Excellence by the Colorado Department of Education. While our achievement scores may not always be the highest in the state, our growth data consistently demonstrates that students make significant academic progress, often achieving more than a year's worth of growth in a single year. Family partnerships are an essential part of our success. We encourage families to advocate for their children, engage with teachers, participate in our Holm Helpers parent group, and attend the many family engagement opportunities offered throughout the year. We communicate regularly through Friday Folders, ClassDojo, social media and school-wide updates to keep families informed and connected. Holm may not always be the highest-performing school by every measure, but we are a school that believes deeply in the potential of every child. We celebrate growth, foster meaningful relationships, and work every day to ensure students feel supported, challenged and valued. Simply put, there is no place like Holm.
