For years I defended Principal Jenks and gave leadership the benefit of the doubt. Columbine is a complex school serving a diverse community with competing needs, and I believed that deserved patience and grace. I can no longer defend it. When your best teachers leave and you replace them with far l
Posted by a parent on 5/21/2026This is the worst run school in DPS. I was encouraged to send my kids to this school through the positive things I had heard of this school through a Facebook mom group. But having my kids here has been the worst decision. It is clear that the school is so poorly managed. There is high turnover at t
Posted by a parent on 4/8/2026Our family has spent a total of 5 years at Columbine. With a very heavy heart, I am transferring them this year. While the community and many of the families we have met at the school have been great, the school seriously lacks in leadership. Our early years at the school were phenomenal. The ECE-2n
Posted by a parent on 6/1/2025We have been so impressed with our child's experience and learning at Columbine during the '24-'25 school year.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI definitely recommend the ECE program at this school. Our three year old daughter attended this school 2023-2024 school year. We were sent there through the Child Find program for continued support for speech delays. Our daughter had separation anxiety as well. Ms. Claudia Valle the main ECE teacher is just absolutely amazing. She has like 30 years of experience and she just knew how to calm our daughter from day one. She helped her tremendously with expressing her needs using words and we feel forever grateful for the kind of support our daughter received at this school. We have been to a private school before that and our daughter was really not seen there. We had our doubts when assigned to this school but wow, how one teacher can change the course of a child’s life and positively influence the developing psyche of a young learner with challenges.Parent Review9mo ago - University Prep - Steele St.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe staff is really disrespectful including the principal she is the worst it seems that instead of caring for there students they only care about just sitting around doing nothing the regulations for this school is a total joke starting with the uniforms the students are there to learn and it seems that principal cates more about how there uniform looks the school overall is terrible specially because the building is so old it seems that as soon as you walk in the school its going to fall downOther Review10y ago - Cole Arts And Science Academy
