My son attended this school for one year as an eighth grader after having moved from another state…read moreinto CO during the summer. In my opinion, it was a great fit for him after having had multiple life changes over the previous few years. (divorce, multiple moves, so on) The small class sizes here allow teachers to gain a perspective on students that a typical classroom, quite simply, probably wouldn't allow. I thoroughly appreciated the insights teachers provided during P/T conferences. They gave not only academic but social insights into my son's life that I would not have otherwise had. (Don't tell him I said that ) Having said all of that, he decided to go to elsewhere for his high school years. Whether or not it's a good decision for him remains to be seen. In any case, I would urge parents (and their students!) to consider Collegiate Academy. As parents we must help our kids decide what is best for them at a given time. The beauty of Jeffco is this ability to have options. We haven't had this option presented so cleanly to us in any other school system. Please check them out.

If you are thinking of a school in Jeffco! Look no further. We were in Columbines area schools and…read morethey are good but the classes are so big. My daughter could not get the help she needed. We changed to collegiate and a world of a difference happened. She is no longer on IEP at grade level or above all from changing schools and how they taught. She only has 15 people in her class. The staff teachers admin principal all have been amazing. Can not recommend this school enough. It was like a private school with out the cost.

Shaffer Elementary food is the best, because of their pizza, milk and snack. I like pizza because…read morethe crusts are so crunchy, another reason is because of the topping of the pizza. Each topping has a different taste, for example galaxy pizza. I like the milk for two reasons, the first reason is because, it is as fresh as a farm milk.The second reason is because, they always have a question on the cover, and you get to anwser it on a special website called trumoo.com. I like the snack for a reason, the reason is they let you buy Cheetos, Doritos.

As a student at this school, I can only say that this school is fabulous! All of the teachers (K-5)…read moreare magnificent at teaching kids math, writing, reading, science, social studies and more. The school offers other curriculum for students who feel they need to be challenged. Lastly, Mr. Brasher (the principle) is responsible and trustworthy making the school a great environment.

Her teacher is extremely invested, knowledgeable, kind, aware, and devoted to my daughter and her classmates. The principal, while new at GR this year, has decades of genuine experience in Denver schools, and has already created a super productive and lively culture. My husband, son and I have joined our daughter at school for multiple events so far this fall, and everyone on campus has been incredibly welcoming and pleasant in their exchanges. Also, our daughter's academic situation has improved by very obvious and measurable amounts. Our son looks forward to starting kindergarten next year, and we plan on making Grant Ranch our permanent home as long as we live in the neighborhood!!

The process after this was also terrible. They were not apologetic and didn't seem to care. I vetted many daycares and was looking very early and they pretty much stole that experience from us and left us without childcare last minute . They don't seem to know when they have space! I would not trust it! Even after they said it was because of another baby joining first (which still wouldn't make sense because they gave us an official date) then later said that baby isn't attending but still no space.

I went online to speak to a representative and schedule a tour with Coal Mine Kindercare. The representative was wonderful and helpful and promptly scheduled my tour for a Thursday at 5 PM. Shortly after scheduling the tour, I recieved a voicemail from Brooke asking if she could reschedule for an earlier time. I returned her call around 5:30 PM the same day and explained to her the reason why we scheduled the tour for when we did. My husband and I work half an hour in opposite directions and he does not get off work until 4:30 PM, therefore the earliest we could do was 5. Brooke stated she was not able to give tours after 4 PM because she was helping out in classrooms and asked if a lunch time tour would work. I again stated that we worked half an hour away from the center and we would have to take a half day off of work just to come and tour, so no that wouldn't work. She again asked if a lunch time tour was acceptable, and I finally told her we would not be touring at all. Instead of trying to get my business, she simply said she was sorry she couldn't do night tours and hung up the phone. If an establishment is unwilling to work with future parents who have normal work schedules and are unable to take time off for a mid day tour, why would I want to give them my business and trust my infant with them? The Goddard School allows drop in tours at any hour and Primrose was more than accommodating of a night tour. They have my business.

An amazing school, warm and welcoming, a great balance of family, community, and academics.read more
