Rocky Mountain Elementary School

Have had two children (6 years apart) attend this school, and they are so welcoming and inclusive to all - race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or neurodivergence. They have one of the ASD centers of Jeffco, and all staff are just more understanding of neurodivergent children, whether they are in the ASD program or not. They also have a school psychologist and a Social Emotional Learning specialist, and the children regularly engage in social emotional learning. There are events and meetings to help bring the community together as well. The normal PTA meetings, but also school accountability meetings where parents and principle/staff can talk. There are monthly coffee community meetings, where they teach us about a certain topic - such as safe technology, assessments, neurodiversity. I just love how supportive they've been of my kids. As far as discipline/bullying I've only had a couple instances that were taken care of very fast. Example is one time my older son was thrown down and scraped up by an angry friend and it was taken very seriously. Afterwards they even included a group friend discussion and helped my son and his friend work through the upset, and continued to monitor - nothing more ever happened, I really think helping them work through the problems was key.

This school failed my child in the worst way.On May 2nd, 2025, while in class under a substitute teacher’s supervision, another student took scissors and cut my child’s hair down to the scalp. It was violating, traumatic, and completely unacceptable.Worse than the act itself was the school’s response: no formal communication, no apology, no outreach from the principal, and no real accountability. Staff passed the blame, minimized the incident, and offered no reassurance about my child’s safety moving forward.My child was left feeling unsafe, dismissed, and invisible. That’s not just poor leadership—it’s heartbreaking.We made the difficult decision to withdraw from the school. I’ve filed a formal complaint with the district and will be forwarding documentation to the Department of Education. Parents deserve to know the truth. This is not a place I’d ever recommend for any child.

Mi punto de vista que hace más personal capacitado para los niños talentosos y superdotados. No ponen mucha atención en ayudar a desarrollar su coeficiente.

Fantastic. Supportive staff and great teachers! Work with children and parents alike

Grateful for caring leadership at Sunset - Our experience has been warm, inclusive, and reassuring from day one. The connection between home and school is clearly a priority and it means a lot to the parents!

I am thoroughly impressed with Flynn! As a parent of a second grader, I can't express enough how grateful I am for the dedicated staff and teachers who go above and beyond every day. The principal is exceptionally kind and truly leads by example, creating a welcoming and positive environment for all the students and staff. I feel confident in the safety measures implemented at the school, ensuring a secure learning space for my daughter. The commitment to student success and well-being is evident, and it makes all the difference. We are lucky to be a part of this wonderful school community!
