The school was ok. It is a smaller school in Dauglas County but some teachers where great. A lot better then other school
3/3/2024
My daughter has been at STEM since 7th grade and it has been a great school for her. She was part of their BEST Robotics program throughout her time at STEM and it helped her determine that she wanted to go to the American College of the Building Arts and pursue an applied sciences degree in architectural carpentry. The program also helped her get accepted to her college of choice.
3/2/2024
This is the best school in the Denver Metro area for those who want to know and understand things, not just follow directions.
