Harris Bilingual School's dual language approach does not work well to teach native English-speaking students to communicate in Spanish. From first grade through third grade, students focus mainly on their native language (English or Spanish) in two separate groups. Starting in fourth grade, there i
Posted by a parent on 11/9/2023I wrote the last review & cannot change it. I wrote it during our first year here. Since this time, Harris has proved to be a school that is not meant for most. I do not recommend this school for English speaking students. You are there to help the Spanish speaking students, but will not leave being
Posted by a parent on 1/28/2023The teachers at this school are good, and the students are supported. They learn the general elementary education. The problem with this school is that the promise is that ALL students will be bilingual in English AND Spanish. However, only the native Spanish-speaking students become bilingual. The
Posted by a parent on 10/3/2017Harris Bilingual is a great community of students, parents & teachers. Our child has thrived in the immersion program and enjoys learning in Spanish and English. Harris does an excellent job of balancing full immersion and core studies. We feel increadibly lucky to be a part of this community!
Posted by a parent on 10/30/2013I like Harris Elementary because the teachers are highly educated and speak Spanish and English. The front desk secretaries, cafeteria ladies, and custodian, all take part in extra school activities and are wonderful to work with. In five years of attendance my son has not once complained about his

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy husband found Rivendell online when we decided to relocate to Fort Collins several years ago from out of state and it, honestly, felt a little too good to be true. We wanted a school that perpetuated a JOY for learning while challenging our kids to push beyond their current abilities. We wanted a school that understood the importance of social-emotional learning, was rooted in kindness and partnered with us to help instill confidence in our kids. Since we were coming from out of state, we also wanted a place to start building our community. Flash forward several years and now our older son is on his third year at Rivendell and our younger son is in his first year. We actually ended up moving our younger son to Rivendell earlier than we intended since he was being bullied at another school and the administrators refused to address the issue. Now that he is at Rivendell the bullying has stopped and he is thriving! We also have developed great friendships with other families at Rivendell - it is at the core of our community.The administrators, teachers and staff continue to blow the high expectations we had going in out of the water. As we hear about the ups and downs that others have experienced at other schools within Fort Collins, we continue to feel grateful for this gem of a school and that our boys get to have these precious and formative years there.Parent Review6mo ago - Axis International Academy
