not good at all, new staff no organization, kids that struggle get left behind and ignored
Posted by a parent on 10/10/2016On previous years I was very disappointed about this school. It wasn't until the school year of 2013-2014 that I become a member of the PTA an realized how many school programs the school actually have. From after school homework help to classes for parents to better assist their kids at home with n
Posted by a community member on 8/3/2015I'm not sure where that 5 star rating came from, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone in the front office. I've been very disappointed in the decision making going on at this school. My child has had some wonderful teachers at this school, but none of them are still there. Take a look at te
Posted by a parent on 5/13/2015Some teachers here have wonderful management and great relationships with the students and parents but in general there is a large bully problem that doesn't stop. There are lots of activities for the families and students but most are held at early times not allowing for parents that work late to a

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 - Assumption Catholic School
