Genial unos años atrás pero con la administración de la nueva directora empezó la decadencia de la escuela. Retiro a todos los buenos profesores que si se preocupaban por dar una enseñanza de calidad con vocación y empatizaban con los padres de familia y ayudaban a buscar soluciones a los problemas de aprendizaje. Comenzó una caseria para todos los que no estén de acuerdo con su plan administrativo y su plan de contratación de docentes se basa en afinidad no en capacidad por eso la escuela bajo terriblemente de nivel. No hay apoyo en deportes ni arte . Si tú hijo tiene alguna condición ellos no te ayudarán solo llamarán para que lo recojas todos los días a primera hora no buscara una solución. Así que si te puedes mover y buscar una nueva escuela hazlo sin dudarlo en este lugar la nueva administración y los docentes que quedaron no se preocupan por generar educación de calidad para tu hijo solo vendrán para cobrar su cheque y decir que tú hijo es inquieto y por eso no sube su nivel académico.

Amazing school with great community engagement and support. Teachers have long tenure and it shows….. very experienced and wonderful at their jobs. Specials are well thought out and routinely enjoyed. School supports all learners where they are. The overall feel is that they truly care about the kids, which is the point.

Disappointment when the principal calls my daughter a liar for something her teacher agreed she did wrong. Principal is supposed to advocate for my child instead she plain insulted us!! God forbid it had been something worse she would also call my child a liar. This lady was recently hired and already She is not to be trusted!!!

As a former employee of this school, I cannot give a positive review. There are many challenges with the students and not enough support. The main issues are behavioral. It is challenging to teach when you are constantly interrupted by sometimes violent outbursts from students. While the principal is kind, they do not give a full description of the students and the challenges that will be faced each day.

As parents, we had high hopes when we enrolled our child at MCHD, but unfortunately, our experience has been disappointing on several fronts. My older son attended MCHD 8 years ago and we were thrilled when it came to his experience. He had one teacher, Ms. Itzel, his entire time there. He grew so much educationally and socially. I was excited to send my younger son and enrolled him when he was two. We spent 4 years at MCHD Parkhill and just left mid year because we were beyond disappointed. I am floored when I recall the significant differences from 8 years ago. First and foremost, the teacher retention issue is a serious concern. It feels like every few months, we’re seeing new faces in the classroom, which has created a lack of consistency in our child’s education. It’s difficult to form a relationship with teachers when they’re constantly leaving, and it’s clear that the remaining staff is overburdened. Additionally, communication from the school is abysmal. Important updates and changes are rarely communicated in a timely manner. It’s frustrating to find out about scheduling changes, school events, or policy updates at the last minute or, worse, not at all. As parents, we feel left out of the loop and constantly have to chase down information that should be readily available to us. We’ve also been disappointed by how the school has handled changes. There has been a lack of transparency when it comes to alterations in curriculum, staffing, and even basic facilities. The school doesn’t seem forthcoming with this information, and we’ve been left to figure things out for ourselves, which is not acceptable for the fees we are paying. To add insult to injury, despite paying the same amount as families at the Central Park campus, our child’s campus does not offer the same resources or opportunities. It’s hard to ignore the disparity in facilities, extracurricular programs, and even classroom materials. We understand that different campuses may have different needs, but the quality should not be this uneven when the financial commitment is the same. Overall, we’re incredibly disappointed with MCHD. For the amount of money we’re paying, we expected much better communication, teacher stability, and a more consistent and equitable experience for our child. We hope the school takes these issues seriously and works to address them for the sake of the students.

We have been a family at Blessed Sacrament for many years and decided to pull our children out of the school at the end of this school year. The leadership at the school is severly lacking and is so focused on creating "little saints" and educating students about Catholicism that the academics have really suffered. The students attend mass two days per week and on those days also have another 30 minutes of theology in the classroom. There is very little academic instruction done on the two mass days. Many of the teachers are not qualified to teach the subject/grade level they are currently in, which results in a lack of academic knowledge and classroom management in those classrooms. You can look up their current credential status on the Colorado Department of Education website under educator credential search. The teachers in the upper elementary grades consistently yell at the students, are very demeaning in front of other students, and lack the general knowledge of how to educate students at this age. They also have very little tolerance for students that do not sit quielty in their seats and are not perfect students. Bullying is not handled at all at this school. If you reach out to the teachers or administration about bullying they consistently defend the bullies and do nothing about it. The school also does not differentiate to meet all the students academic needs. Teachers do not pull small groups to differentiate to meet students at all levels in the classroom and as a result many families have to pay for outside tutoring on top of paying for tuition. Over the past 3 years many students have left the school which has resulted in many grades only having one class per grade level. These classes are extremely large for a private school with no para support. It is quite evident that the teachers are not able to handle having large classes due to the lack of academic rigor and management.

The school has really gone down hill. It used to have good STEM but now... leave no child left behind I guess. 25 years ago I would say it was an amazing school. Now? Don't put this on a high school application later.I think I see the trend though.
