Connections Learning Center On The Earle Johnson C

It is a great school with a strong emphasis on academic learning and a safe environment.

Both of my boys attend Welchester, and for the most part we absolutely love it! My youngest is in the kindergarten program, and his teacher goes above and beyond what she needs to and my son is really excelling! My oldest has been there for almost 4 years and he really loves it as well, though he has a 504 and when he falls behind his current teacher doesn't implement his tools from his 504 which is frustrating. One thing that is concerning at this school is there has been violent bullying and there isn't much that has been done about it. I don't know if it's jeffco policy or what. But over all we are very happy that our boys attend Welchester Elementary.

Shelton has been a fantastic school for my son. It is such a welcoming community with engaged teachers, parents, and PTSA. We have been so grateful for the consistency of teachers, wraparound services, inclusive environment, and academic projects. Like another reviewer said, Shelton is a hidden gem!

My children have gone to Compass for five years now, and we've experienced Children's House, Elementary and Farm School (middle school) so far. The key to this model is that it considers where children are developmentally and then builds curriculum on the science of human development. To meet a child where they are, especially a teenager has been a beautiful thing to watch. This isn't how I learned, but I have watched each of my children gain an independence and confidence in their school work, their own choices and themselves from the amazing guides and leadership at Compass. Additionally, the students here learn kindness and community service, and we haven't experienced bullying here. When I do see poor behavior, I see the guides holding students accountable and teaching them how to navigate that adversity, instead of traditional punishments I remember in school growing up. That seems to teach my children how to be less rattled by the challenging stuff. Overall, we love this school.

We are very happy with the confidence and academic maturity my son has gained from this school. He has attended PK3, PK4 and soon to be kindergarten. Academically he is on track and in some areas exceeding his developmental milestones. The teachers are warm, knowledgeable and supportive. We will be enrolling our youngest here next year. The school schedule is still an 8:15 start time which is a huge plus for working parents.
