This school is a definition of a jail The Teachers are currpot don't so their jobs and treat us like prsinors. There had been many cases that have been uncalled for and the food tastes like rubber with salt Would not recommend to minority groups at all read more

The school is really good through fourth grade. They currently (21-22) consider fifth grade middle school, something which is changing next school year. The middle school is not managed well. There's not a lot of kids in the middle school there, which is good education wise but bad in regards to social interactions. All the school bullies do is pick on the same kids over and over again. It's too small of a group of kids and there's too much in-fighting. After being picked on for countless things over the school year now my child is being picked on because she has an IEP. We've had repeated bullying incidents without being informed of any resolution. I've actually at the end of the school day had to go in to the school and try and track down vice principals and other leadership to get answers on what's going on with certain issues. I really don't believe it's the teachers. They've been pretty great education wise. The teachers are the only reason this school review didn't get 0 stars. It's the administration/charter itself and how they deal with bullying. During the most recent bullying incident My daughter couldn't get any help and end up calling my husband. Below is the email I sent to school. Good Afternoon, OK so I just heard from (my daughter) and my husband about this. This kid (?!?$@) is doing the following things according to this text I got from my husband... (My daughter) called me a little bit ago I guess (?!?$@) threw a pencil or a pen right at her face and called her a special-needs brat. .... (my daughter) went to a teacher who said that she couldn't really do anything about the name calling. I don't know if the pen or pencil incident had happened at this time or not but this kid was following My daughter and repeating this awful comment over and over again to the point where (my daughter) called my husband for help, on her cellphone, which is when the following text happened... Sounds like nothing really got done. (My daughter) called me and he was close to the phone I could hear him yelling in the background at (my daughter) so I told her to tell him that I'm calling the school and we're gonna call his parents :-) ... This is ridiculous. I am so tired of all this bullying and the fact that nothing ever seems to get done. It's ridiculous that my husband had to step in over the cell phone and say something to this kid. I never hear about any resolution with the offending child or any consequences. It would be least nice to know in these cases that at the very least the parents have been talked too. I think by this point, especially when you guys have admitted to mistakes happening in regards to your follow up with bullying, that you could go back to the chalkboard on how you deal with it. Obviously what your doing is not working. There is no reason why after the first incident of such things you shouldn't have parents pulled into meetings to have some responsibility/follow up. Also what is the point of in school suspension for half a day? Make the kid serve at home suspension. That would force parents to work more at getting these issues resolved. Because at that point it's not just affecting the child is affecting the whole family. Let the offending family deal with the Consequences not the victim. This bullying issue, and how out-of-control it's been, is directly the reason why we will NOT be returning to Aspen Academy next year. read more

An excellent alternative to traditional public and sometimes costly private schools. This charter school is very much family driven with a commitment to small classes, core education, and a quality educational experience foe the students. We have been very pleased with the staff and are excited for the new location! read more
