Meridian Elementary School

I’ve had two students attend Mountain View Elementary K-5. The staff and admin have been amazing, supportive, engaging and so much more. With it being the community feeder school for the deaf and hard and hearing the school is inclusive and students have the opportunity to learn American Sign Language. The school has a fantastic community. Highly recommend MVE!

My son attended this school 2 years. He's autistic and has ADHD. He said a child stabbed him with a pencil while I was out of town. My mom reported it and they says she can't get any info and she can't pick him up from school (I previously cleared this and verified she was on the list. It was only an issue after she mentioned this problem. This was the end of my trip). I basically decided to move after the principal did not make a report about it, and made it seem like it was not a big deal when I came to meet with him upon my return. Later there was another incident in which my son came home with scratch marks that were dripping blood on the back of his neck after I was assured (it was the same child that stabbed him) they would be forever kept separate. I mentioned it to the principal again in writing. He did not inform the staff of this incident. I went to field day and saw my son sitting directly next to the same child in class with their desks touching. They told me they weren't having problems any more so they chose to let them be together again without consulting me for permission after the stabbing. I also asked them for the entire year last year to show me what they are teaching my son. I got nothing but art work maybe once a month. No reading writing math. I stopped work to teach my son to read. It took 2 weeks. I even asked the principal in January after months of receiving nothing. Still continued to receive no work. I enrolled my son at a different charter school. He's been there 3 days. I was immediately notified of a slight conflict with another student. My son came home describing in detail how to craft a battery and power a light bulb with a lemon and some wire. I have NEVER seen him so excited about his education. Not only did they fail to teach him, but I noticed he regressed. After I taught my son to read it was months before his teacher even noticed. It's an actual shame what the school system here has become. Find a charter school or home school, or open enroll in a better county. It's embarrassing that these safety concerns were dismissed and only even documented because I demanded it. What a failure of our entire system.Somehow Hunters Glen was still a remarkable improvement on the last public school my son attended in this district. He escaped the school for hours and they didn't even call me until they found him in a creek down the road.

My child is a student at Arapahoe Ridge and has been going there for about three years. My child has enjoyed their teachers and as a parent, this means a lot!

We recently moved to Colorado and couldn’t be happier with Birch. It has a wonderful and engaged principal . Teachers really care about their students and live in the community. Parents are involved and engaged. It’s a school where most kids walk or bike daily. My 1st and 3rd grader have really thrived here

i would recommend this school because its nice

My children have been here for 3 years now - spanning pk- 5th grade collectively. I cannot say enough good things about this incredible school and its community. They have THRIVED and love every day they get to spend inside of this building. The staff and even administration truly cares about every single student and works tirelessly to bridge the parent school staff gap, ensuring everyone feels welcome and is able to be an active participant in their child's school "world."
