Being a student at Rangeview, i have experienced many things or encountered some quite interesting…read morethings id rather say. First of all, my background knowledge, most of my friends i have had go to a private schools here in the United States. Since Rangeview is not my first school in Colorado, i have lived in other states, but the first state i have lived in is Colorado, but that was long ago. Anyways, Most of my friends have or go to a private school of some sorts in the other states i lived, and the education, i would say was pretty good, far besides how strict they are, but Rangeview has some good things and bad.
First is that i hate how grades are all standard base grading needs to go away, it is a form of grading that does not truly show what you know, but more of what the teacher thinks you know, and does not give that handy percentage we all like, it tends to be a problem because it could lead to favoritism, even though i have not experienced this, it could be a probability, it also tends to take away A's, because every different teacher, an Advanced grade is different, since standard base grading is a system that teachers have the power over.
Second, Methods of teaching are not a good way to teach, we all heard of the phrase "take out your textbook, and do number" so and so "on page" whatever, and then what the teacher ends up doing is sitting down on her desk, and not help out, in math, i experienced this, honors core 3, teacher would say take out text book, work on the problem, if you don't get it, keep trying, at the end of class i give out answers, maybe explain how you get it. So this is not teaching in my way of viewing it,, and this needs to stop.
There are a couple more problems i could mention, but i rather not waste more space on here. For the good news. The faculty is great, they interact with students help, social wise, sometimes academically, we got a few great teachers that get their students involved and teach in their own methods and still follow curriculum. Over all, this is an okay school, i have been to way better schools, and far more stricter which leads to a better education, which i do enjoy, but its not bad, i do enjoy learning there because it is different, but as far as the information i get or learn, is far too little, depending on the teacher.
