It sucked 17 years ago and hasn't gotten any better. They lack communication, acknowledgement of issues and fail to provide safety to my kids. I think the leadership of this school should be replaced.
Posted by a parent on 3/6/2026Our daughter has thrived at Sand creek! The teachers go above and beyond to accommodate each kid (for example, my kid had spelling words individualized to her each week). Without family nearby, sand creek has provided the community we were looking for. As a smaller school, it’s easy to get involved
Posted by a parent on 7/15/2025Both of my sons have had the privilege of attending Sand Creek Elementary - my older son years ago and my younger son now. I truly can't say enough good things about it. The teachers are not only dedicated and knowledgeable, they genuinely care about each and every child. They go above and beyond to

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSummit View is a truly wonderful school. Every teacher we have interacted with has been enthusiastic and personally invested in our child. The special ed team has been caring, knowledgeable and proactive. The front desk and administrators know every kid and many of the parents. Systems and communications are clear and logical. The field trips and programming are engaging and robust. The kids are kind and thoughtful, and the school has cultivated a very strong culture of excellence and good character. I just wish we had found this elementary school earlier in my kids’ school career. Keep up the good work, Summit View!Parent Review1mo ago - Northridge Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMoving from Aurora, I looked for a new school in Highlands Ranch. So we sent my kid to this school and although at first things went smoothly, my child felt like they were getting in trouble and why I asked why as concerned person would do they responded that when the got pulled the principal started to make them feel bad or a short of guilt. So naturally I asked her what this situation was and she described that she was a witness to something another kid did and the principal screamed at her. My daughter would often come home crying and would be begging me to stay home. This school is alright. I just think the administration could be better.Parent Review1mo ago - Cherry Hills Christian
