9/30/2023
The teachers of the middle school are really not interested in student success. The administration and staff is really really really bad. Poor communication from the administration and the school doesn't create a good positive environment for students. The administration is least interested in students growth or provide any other opportunity.
10/29/2019
Ignore the other reviews about Challenge School, it is the best Elementary/Middle School in Colorado. The alumni from this school have been prepared for high school more than any other students from schools in all of Colorado. This school teaches kids more than any other school and the amount of kids in the school lets them know the other students better. 10/10 school
2/6/2019
Incredible staff and excellent academic opportunities. My daughter is in her third year and says it is her favorite place on earth. The math department is outstanding.

Big shoutout to Mrs. Eggleston for teaching us algebra in an interesting way. The location is a little out of the way, and a bit cumbersome to deal with if you have child...

The school doesn't have good academics, sports, music or clubs. Really bad school with poor location. The school leaders don't care about student success nor they care about students growth or opportunities. The administration and support staff are rude and not welcoming. The school teachers are ave...
9/22/2023
The teachers of the school are not dedicated. They don't look out for the best interest of the kids but have bias towards students. The administration is really bad and the teachers are not best among CCSD. The environment is not challenging but rather demotivates students. Don't recommend this scho...

The principal of the school is horrible. Doesnt support students. Is extremely rude with parents. He needs to leave Challenge. The school is not worth the drive. The prinicpal and teachers dont see students best interest. Very sad experience and unfortunate to see such poor administration. The prini...
