GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Horrible school. Inappropriate books in library for students to read & teachers don't review before students read them. Lots of bullying going on. Activities or sports are lame. Long practices but not many games or performances. Also very unorganized. Went into school to pick up a student and gal at front desk did not look at me and was rude. Fights in classrooms with fists going and teachers don't even hardly notice but other students are filming. Don't even get me started on the horrible traffic with narrow streets when dropping off or picking up students. Not much learning going on because seems like all they teach is to test on State tests.

I Would never recommend this school as they think that Refocus is a way that they teach kids as i am one from 6th to 9th as this school should not have the rating it has it keeps kids pull a all nighter and also has random drama that does not make this school fun also how it lies about the fights as this school as they say they only have two as since i have been here i can at least record 6 in 3 years as they have only had TWO fights recorded to the police as it is purely unfair there grading scale is absolutely unfair as they minimum to a C is 75 as this scale is unfair as there is no D and they make it extremely unfair to make up the work as they Have MT and make it extremely hard to make up or even see the grades and as they think taking your social time or time to even talk to others. as I think its a violation to freedom of speech that we cant even talk to anyone without being criticized and bullied by teachers and management

I honestly really enjoy learning here. It is easy to achieve good grades as long as you work for it. I may have only been here a year but I think it is great at providing education for students, as well as handling the troublesome kids fairly well with a few exceptions. I like the new Refocus and CP during lunch as it is more convenient for families. Overall really great school, would definitely recommend.

The social workers here are anti-family and influenced by Marxist-inspired critical theories. Do not trust the adults with your children.

One of the worst schools in Denver. Dysfunctional, disorganized, and not focused on education.

This was not my daughters first choice for 6th grade, but she had a great year. The teachers are very attentive and they make sure the kids stay on track. If a teacher thinks a student is falling behind, they will put them on mandatory tutoring, which I appreciate. It is more strict than most middle...

My child is in 6th grade. She came home one day upset because one of the teachers wouldn’t let her go to the bathroom even though it was the end of the day. Apparently she was walking to the 6th grade while students were leaving. And the teacher yelled and wouldn’t let her go? This upset my child an...
