Front Range Christian School

We have been with Dutch Creek for six years now. We really enjoy the community environment. The PTA puts on amazing events. Our daughter has loved all of her teachers and they seem care about giving the students the help they need to succeed.

Don’t send your child here if they need special education services. The special education staff is amazing, but the general education teachers have zero interest in including your child. My child has sat by themselves a lot and is not included in the classroom activities often. She is definitely discriminated against because of her disabilities. Leadership doesn’t have the knowledge of special education and IEPs to help with the situation.

Stony Creek takes pride in teaching curriculum to their students, while also helping them to be kind, respectful, and responsible humans. They have been wonderful in preparing our kids for Kindergarten. They are willing to step forward and give extra attention where it is needed, whether that's through special education or with additionally challenging children who are excelling in the classroom.

This school is horrible. No honor classes, only three electives, band is the only performance art (thanks to the new principal this year...) and the entire school isn't run very well. Staff gossip about children, and hold a very manipulative and fake tone to their voice. Punishment is not helpful, weird schedule that nobody likes, arguably unnecessary guidelines,, heavy favoritism, some classes don't even have teachers, and nothing gets learned. I took absolutely no information from social studies this year, and am now a year behind the curriculum in math because I was in honors at a different school last year, but since this school doesn't offer any honor programs, I have a year to make up. I'm transferring out ASAP. I truly believe only a FEW teachers care about the students. Not to mention the behavior they condone? Students walk out of classes with no repercussions, some hide out in other teachers classes, and no other school I’ve been to lets kids spout vulgar language to one another. Staff don’t care if students choose to not learn. This is one of the schools out of the many I’ve been to that actually does make me hate school.

Our family moved into the district after our children had been at other schools previously, and we were welcomed with open arms. We love how close knit the community is, and how supportive of each other. The teaching staff truly cares for their students, and a lot of families live within walking distance so the playgrounds are always full of friends after school, and during weekends and the summertime. In terms of academics, I think it’s fair to say no kid actually “likes” everything they work on in school, but our children have been well supported in their needs, which have included an ALP. There is an annual science fair, as well as a spelling bee, monthly writing and perseverance awards, and several after school special programs on offer, including a run club. The library is robust, and there is a kid-run news program that goes out to the school. Band and orchestra are offered for the older grades, as well as art, music, and gym for all classes. The school does have a preK, and a SPED center. Class sizes are excellent! We have been pleasantly surprised by how much we love being a part of the CHE community- our previous schools were both blue ribbon DPS schools, but we’ve never experienced the warmth of a community like this one before. Heartily recommend this school for consideration!
