Posted by a parent on 7/14/2025This school was horrible. All the teachers quit, cause they couldn't handle the students. The vice principal would always searched the middle schoolers almost every other day. Holes everywhere in the classrooms/bathrooms. Middle school students never were where they were supposed to be. No doors on
Posted by a community member on 2/6/2025I am extremely disappointed with the attendance policy at Explorer PreK-8. My child, who has had fewer than 5 absences , was denied excused absences even for being sick. When I explained this to the school, I was told it was "fine" to send him to school sick. This is not only irresponsible but also
Posted by a parent on 12/6/2024Most Mapleton schools are understaffed and not very good overall.
Posted by a community member on 10/31/2024The nicest teachers and staff. Our grandson and grand daughter are learning so much. A minor incident involving some bullying with my grandson, but was handled immediately. It is not tolerated here.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagei went here from 05-07 as a kid and this school was by far the worst school I've ever encountered. They do nothing about bullying, and i have asthma and when i asked the nurse for my inhaler she declined to give it to me. I remember my mom cussing at her for like 15 minutes. She did not care. If i could give this school a 0 i would. You're better off sending your kid to Africa to get his education than this failure of a school community, and from the other reviews I saw they never changed their way i would recommend cherry drive elementary or the other school on 120th and holly. I had the best experience at cherry drive.Other Review1y ago - Malley Drive Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had my kids in this school for 2 years. I tried working with the staff and the school board about the major bullying issues this school has. No resolution was in sight and the bullies are treated better than the victims. My children also had minimal to no educational growth. My youngest is struggling with reading and had zero growth in his test scores from the beginning of the year. My daughter said the work is too easy compared to the Westminster district. Also the majority of Adams 12 schools don’t offer special education after 2nd grade so the kids are just placed to the side if they are not on the same level of their classmates. I am so happy to say I finally got my kids out of this school! However it saddens my heart to know other kids have to deal with this! The district also needs a major clean up and education reform.Parent Review2y ago - Riverdale Elementary School
