Every year over 50% of the teachers just quit on us. Which isn't the best thing to do for a school filled with poor students with a hard home life. Also the assistant principal doesn't really care about your education, all he seems to care about is dress coding you for wearing a sweater, I mean like ok I'm just wearing a sweater, but youre gonna send me to the office and rid me of my right to an education by making me wait for a referral. But to say the least there are a few nice enough teachers like Mrs. Chizever and Mr. Madrid, they are teachers you want to have, they will be there for you.

In hope to improve her speech, I enrolled her into their extra reading class; Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It was the best decision I EVER made. At first I didn't understand why she wasnt being thought to read, instead the teacher was teaching her phonics. The reading teacher knew exactly what she was doing. Now, my daughter is at the Vanguard in kindergarten, she reads on the level of a 3rd grader. When she left Valley Christian Academy, The Vanguard School was extremely easy for her. My daughter excelled. Thanks to Valley Christian Academy.

My son is now K-3 and has consistently seen the same group of students transition through to the next grade. I ask him consistently if he's bullied or anyone of his classmates exhibit extreme or violent behaviors and the answer is consistent there's always one or two kids that are always in trouble. For the most part the curriculum is consistent with grade school expectations and he is an avid reader. I can say that the teachers and administration are excellent and I don't have any complaints. For parents who are new moving to the area there are several options for elementary choices but bare in mind Harrison school districts limits your choices to charter vs. public in other words I can't send my child to a different public school simply because I want too. The rules very well could have changed however that was my experience. Also they did close out access to the school grass field, basketball court and play area. I completely agree with maintaining the integrity and value of the property as people were constantly destroying the grass with unregulated soccer.

[ 3.5* Review ] I'm…read moregrateful I had the chance to start my academic journey at Pikes Peak State College, where I completed my Associate's Degree. My experience has a mix of positives, meaningful strengths, as well as areas that could be improved and frustrations, which is why I feel a three-plus* star rating reflects it honestly and is fair. *Positive Aspects* Being connected to multiple campuses gave me access to diverse professors, inspiring instructors, and well-designed classes. Even though I studied fully online, I always had access to academic advisors, supportive counselors, and helpful IT support. Whenever I didn't understand something, I could reach out directly to instructors, teachers, operators, or talk things with classmates in group chats, which made the online format feel more connected. Their majors and electives were interesting, and the classes were structured in a way that made learning enjoyable. One tip for future students: don't overload yourself with too many classes at once. Giving yourself space for research, homework, tutoring, and life outside of school makes a huge difference. Another highlight was the support available around graduation time. It was great to have access to career scouts, the ability given to attend career fairs, connect through honor societies, and mix and mingle at graduation-related events across different campuses and arenas with fellow graduates, professionals, and likeminded individuals. *Negative Aspects* My college inbox was constantly hit with random scams and spam (unwanted emails), which meant I had to keep sorting, blocking, and reporting them. Communication wasn't always consistent - some students responded unprofessionally, and some instructors didn't respond as promptly as promised. I also had a few back-and-forth issues with the campus bookstore. On some occasions, certain digital or open educational resources were free of charge! Yejjj! ;) At other times though, I was billed more than expected for required study materials, supplies, and taxes.. ! :/ In one case, I was even billed for books for a class that ended up being cancelled, which was very frustrating.. Thus, the biggest issue for me was the drop policy. Be aware that if you drop a class after just a little more than 10 days, you're charged the full cost of the course. I really wish the school would extend this decision window to three or four weeks, giving students a fair chance to determine whether a class is manageable without being financially locked in so early. Otherwise, your only option later is withdrawing and ending up with a W on your transcript. *Overall* The Northern campus is gorgeous to visit, featuring a top view and ample parking! The staff members and faculty are supportive and welcoming. Despite the challenges, I'm happy I earned my Associate's Degree here. It is wonderful to be able to transfer forward with an accredited credential and continue my education. The journey can look tricky at times, but it (is) doable - and ultimately rewarding!
