Grant Beacon is the worst school I've sent my kids to. I followed one of my students around for a day and was so embarrassed to have my child there. I felt like the student ran the school. Students were so disrespectful to the teachers. The teachers do not get paid enough to handle these kids. If you want your child to play sports you should look else where. The sports program is awful. The coach only allows upper class to play. They do not teach sportsmanship. The team will be winning by 40 plus points and the coach will not play anyone but the starters still. When winning by this much, its the less skilled opportunity to gain confidence and skill. Grant Beacon does not believe in teaching athletes the actual game on how to win with great sportsmanship and leadership. Bullying is huge. My child has been bullied so much he is scared to say anything. I wanted to support my neighborhood school but sad to say kids are not learning here.

A lot of the teachers are great. The lack of communication or getting through to someone is concerning, especially when there appears to be a culture of physical and verbal aggression between students. It is rare to get someone to call you back or answer the phone. You may have better luck calling the superintendent office (720) 423-3300

I have one child who just finished 8th grade and one coming into 6th. I cannot say enough about our wonderful experience at Grant. The amount of attention each child gets to help them progress is on par with the best of private schools. Instead of herd mentality, it is a "every child learns differently" approach. The enrichments are high quality and the options are fantastic.

Terrible! This school does nothing with bullies and does not step in if a child is getting jumped by multiple students. The policy is to not have the staff break up a fight. The staff might get hurt so they will stand by and call the police while damage is being done to the student. Other students video taped the incident and then further social humiliation for the student took place until they needed to transfer to another school and deal with the doctor appointments on their own.
