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.

They have grown up as responsible citizens who are open to civil discourse and new ideas. Due to the phenomenal outdoor offerings, they have also learned how to fly fish, mountain bike and camp. The faculty is truly exceptional and cares about each and every student.

This school requires a very specific person to enjoy it.

The teachers tend to be republican along with many of the students however very few teachers make their views known to students besides the occasional slip up. The teachers for 7th and 8th are not the best but after that it tends to get better. One problem some might have is the closed campus. While there being a closed campus on its own is not bad the food there isn't good at all. Your only option to get a good meal is to make your own lunch and bring it to school but that isn't always an option. Also if you want to be able to spend time with your child then don't send them to develyn as the work load is over the top with the principal saying that 3 hours of homework should be the norm. Overall, if your child does not cope with stress well do not send them here. In the end I don't think that this school is right for most people.

Living in the neighborhood with this school is a pain in the ass. Outside of the school there is…read morevery little monitoring and/or control of the students. They race their cars up and down Dartmouth with very little concern of getting in trouble. They drag race through the neighborhoods with cars that are so loud they rattle windows. They leave trash and "shooter" booze bottles on the sidewalks and in yards. The cut across corner lot homes with zero respect for lawns and personal property. They run around on very loud miniature motorcycles in small packs and harass people on the "no motorized vehicle" walking paths. All in all, sharing a neighborhood with a Denver Public High School is very problematic. Plus, it's an eyesore that looks like a prison.

Eh. Minimalistic. Looks kind of like a western block Soviet jail.read more

There wasn't any doubt that they all wanted to stay at Addenbrooke. I have kids who would do well anywhere and kids who need extra attention and motivation. This year, my son grew almost 3 grade levels in reading. He is now at grade level and ready for middle school. I cannot begin to tell you what this has done for his confidence and love for school. Teachers and admins are wonderful. Just the right amount of homework and I am continually amazed at the things they are learning.

Not to take scripture out of context, but this is our initial impression of this school and…read moreadmissions representative: "And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet..." Going through the admissions process, it unfortunately became evident that we would not be welcomed or received well at this school. That is fine, I understand that is the case sometimes, but children should not be referred to as "burdens" or "inconveniences". All children should feel loved and supported regardless of where they are in their academic journey. Private schools need to remember that private education is a two way street. We are evaluating you just as much as you are evaluating families. Based on multiple interactions with admissions, I would not enroll my children at this school. I'm sure there are fine people that work here and care about the kids, but when the gate keepers seem judgmental, bias, and indifferent towards your children and situation, it unfortunately deters people. "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Specifically, Jennifer Zercher; Mrs. Zercher refuses to release my daughter whenever I need to pick her up from the school. She always answers the phone with a rude tone, and never seems to be happy to assist parents and students with their needs. Not once, have I ever been satisfied when directed to her for help. I am furious that the rest of the Bear Creek High School Admin would allow her to continue to greeting parents like this, However it leads me to think; Is the rest of the staff this ill- mannered and dense?
