Colorado Sports Leadership Academy

A lot of bullying goes on at this school, especially to the Caucasian students. Some teachers are also bullies. The middle school at teacher bullied my child. The principal is inapproachable. The atmosphere is horrible. There is no fun at this school. Art class is considered work. There were some excellent teachers and some horrible teachers..mainly the art teacher. This is not a safe place for Caucasian students.

The sped department has been combative and unsupportive, it is almost impossible to get your student tested. Students are mentally and emotionally traumatized by the staff. Parents are purposely silenced and complaints are literally refused. The school and the district need new administrators that actually care about the children and educating the children and teachers that actually teach instead of complain about their salary to the students during class. Even the receptionist at the front desk claims that she doesn't make enough money to check the main voice-mail box or return calls.

After teaching here for many years, I was delighted to finally get my chance to move to a different school. The leadership is atrocious, and it shows in every facet of the building. The Previous leadership (Years ago) had created a very tight and supportive community of staff and other stakeholders. The current principal has eroded this sense of community to the point that the overall attitude among staff members can only be described as toxic and disgruntled. Staff turnover each spring is well above any school I have ever seen, and in my opinion, it is almost exclusively due to poor treatment from the administration. For the most part, the teachers are amazing and passionate educators and try their very best to serve the community that they are part of, despite being treated so poorly. What students and families don't often see is how the teachers are consistently yelled at, outright lied to, blamed for the failures of the principal, micro-managed, and regularly treated in an unprofessional manner. The principal preaches the benefits of teaching the 'Whole child" using trauma-informed pedagogy, but most students don't even know who their principal is. They only know her as the angry lady who visits their classroom a few times per year to yell at them for whatever current "Fire" she is trying to put out, in order to look good to the higher-ups. Poor student behavior is so constant it is unbelievable. There is very, very little consistency in enforcing school policies and behavioral norms. The middle school population Is out of control, to the point that it is downright scary to be in that section of the building. Fights, vandalism, screaming of foul language, defiance of teachers and other staff, drugs, and general disrespect for the school run rampant on a daily basis.

This school is horrible! My daughter is supposed to have an IEP and thy fail to follow it. My daughter has been bullied on several occasions and not only do teacher ignore it the principal fails to discipline
