Denver Academy is an outstanding school. It evaluates the students strengths and weaknesses and…read moreprovides students with the academic tools to succeed. Its greatest attribute is that it provides students with self-esteem so they feel they can succeed and are not dumb.

Denver Academy is not the solution you are looking for…read more There were many situations that happened at my expense including a teacher announcing in front of the whole class that I had to be in therapy, in order to embarrass me. Another time my parents tried to write an email to the school about how it was hard for me to do a "working lunch" (where you sit in the classroom instead of going outside to complete work) because of issues with eating in the past. They completely disregarded my parents' worries until they escalated it to the principal who finally and indignantly accepted that I could sit in another room to do my work. At that point I hadn't been able to eat lunch at school for around a month. At one point during the year I finally felt comfortable eating in class and the teacher made a comment along the lines of "well looks like your parents were just being dramatic because now you can eat just fine, huh?" The same teacher later allegedly "mistook" my name in an email for someone else, (whose name sounds nor looks like mine in any way so he took me out of class during my final exam, yelled at me in his office until I was crying, threatened to expel me and told me I couldn't get into any college if I had that on my record. When my parents emailed him about it, he completely denied it and lied about it. This was what ultimately led me to have to leave the school halfway through the year and now I am completing the rest of my sophomore year online in a different program. This school takes advantage of desperate parents who want what is best for their child who has most likely been struggling in school. Their signature quote "We teach students the way they learn best" should be changed to "We teach students the way that is easiest for us". Where parents and kids think they have finally found a safe space for their kid to grow and thrive it is actually the opposite. The sheer amount of bullying from teachers and students alike that I witnessed at my time there is more than any public school I have ever been to in my life. Please do not send your child here.

Update! The new athletic director is top notch. Thank goodness they replaced Michael T and put…read moreCameron Browne in the position. He is responsive and kind. Another update is they really need to refresh the counseling dept. I've never been ignored so much in my life as I have been by these counselors. I've also heard my kids and their friends say the same kinds of things. They are just not good. If your kid is a go getter, they will do well at East. But I think all types of kids need attention and help too, and the quiet ones fall through the cracks here. Again, something I've dealt with in our family as well as hearing it from other families.

Very disappointed in the way that Mike Davis and the Board have dealt with COVID. While other local…read moreschools are normalizing, they are telling parents that kids will be wearing masks and social distancing when school begins in August, 2021. By then, most high-risk folks will have been vaccinated. But, CA continues to put the needs of others over the social and emotional wellbeing of their students. There's talk that the kids will be able to "vaccinate their way out of wearing masks and social distancing in the fall." Some parents are not interested in this possibility until more information about vaccinating younger people becomes known. If you don't want to vaccinate your younger students, I'd look into another school.

have very mixed feelings about Highline Elementary. My daughter's teacher was absolutely amazing,…read moreand honestly she was the reason we stayed positive through our experience there. You could genuinely tell she cared deeply about her students, their education, and their well-being. My daughter loved her, and we were heartbroken to hear she was let go. Unfortunately, the administration was the complete opposite experience for us. My daughter first attended preschool here, and not once did the principal acknowledge us, communicate with us, or make us feel welcomed. We honestly felt invisible. Kindergarten ended up feeling the same way. The principal was even absent at graduation, which was disappointing for such an important moment for the kids and families. The front office staff was also extremely unhelpful, especially Martha. Every interaction felt like an inconvenience, and getting basic help was frustrating. The school has caring teachers, but the leadership and front office experience made the environment feel cold and unwelcoming. I truly wish the teachers had more support, because they deserve better.

Highline was awesome for an elementary school. I went to Highline from Kinndergarten-5th grade, and…read moreit was memorable to say the least. I met a lot of great people that helped me grow as a person, and even through rough times they were there for me. But throughout my time at Highline, I was severely bullied from people who wanted to fill their egos. But overtime, I found some great people to lift me up. The food at Highline was good, but overtime it was ass (like straight bounce that ass). I hope that Highline can improve in the future and fix their lunch options.

The staff is very contentious and dedicated to each individual child's development. The Montessori work is age-appropriate, engaging and instructive. There are also ample opportunities for gross motor development and free play. As a working mother, the highest praise I can give is that I never worry about my son at MAC. I know he's in good hands, well cared for, challenged to be independent and to learn, and is a happy camper when I pick him up.

Also, I have two witnessed instances where my child was jerked/yanked/twisted by his arm by two different primary teachers for minutes at a time, so we quickly felt that we were lucky we departed when we did. When I brought the issue to admin's attention, they seemed appalled and talked of having a "body safety course" offered to their staff. Nothing ever came of it. Total Mom fail for spending $60k over the course of 2.5 years all for a program that promised us the world but delivered to us a sad, distrusting little boy who lacked any self confidence. I am very happy to report that 8 months later, we have rebuilt trust with our son, and he is thriving without being swallowed by constant negativity and abuse.
