For the most part I believe they mean well but they do not seem to be doing a very good job. Update: I started this review a long time ago. It just popped up as unfinished. Unlike this review we are finished with RRE. I have since decided to remove my child from their school as it was NOT a good fit for them. It was mostly because they kicked out my child's much needed therapist. My child will now be re-doing their current grade at another school. Very sad. I cannot express how much sorrow and anger I feel over this. It has felt like an emotional tornado. I'm getting blown all over the place only to find that I've circled right back and nothing has changed. I don't need or want that stress in my or my child's life. I'm a wreck after this year of stress. So in conclusion I would not recommend RRE.

The head coach is the most abusive man I have come across. He rips the spirit out of the boys. Yells and curses at them while they are showering. Is extremely verbally abusive and cruel. Countless parents have brought it to the attention of athletic directors but it seems they love their state championships and money more then they do the boys. We sent our son to Valor because of the values we thought it represented. We were very disappointed in terms of the sports program.

I do not recommend this place for daycare. The teachers do not watch the children. They are…read moreconstantly on their phones while the children run amok. I personally have witnessed several concerning behaviors, mostly with how they treat each child differently. If your child is not the favorite they will ignore them, not send any pictures and openly complain about the ones they do not like. They will allow some children to behave poorly while ostracizing the rest, picking at every little thing they do. My child was there in pre-school and I left because of the horrible treatment. Also, the teachers cycle through that place quickly leaving your children with someone new every month or so making it difficult to build any sort of relationship. The front house staff are nice to you initially but quickly change their tune after you have already enrolled your child. Very discouraged on using chain daycares going forward.

More importantly it has a way of supporting young adults in becoming responsible contributing members of their community. I am very impressed with the dedicated staff at DC Oakes. They are professional yet down-to-earth and they strive to see each individual who walks through the front door as a valuable member of their extended school family.

Great teachers who really care and classes sizes you wouldn't believe. (4-6, but not above 8 was our experience). He learned a lot and turned out a most polite young man. Would strong recommend - contact me for any more details!

A hidden gem! We…read moremoved to Castle Pines in January (from out of state) & only recently found Woodlands Academy in Castle Rock. I wish I had found them sooner. My 10 year old had been in the gifted program at her old school, had been doing well & loved school. While Douglas County school district has an open enrollment policy and a ton of charter/magnet schools, you can't actually get into any of them when you move in the middle of the year (in addition to missing the lottery for the following year). Our neighborhood elementary school was awful. I had a bad feeling about it the first time we visited it & have learned my lesson about listening to myself. It got worse over time until I was desperate to find another place (& had to promise my daughter that she would not have to go back there for 5th grade--no matter what--just to get her to be willing to get up & go to school every morning). She never had any homework, including math, and never had any make-up work when she was out sick--including a whole week she was out when we finished moving which the teachers knew about ahead of time. No assignments whatsoever. And there was no communication about anything they were studying or about any tests/projects/grades or anything. Luckily, I happened upon the Woodlands Academy while looking for another school for the following year, having promised my daughter that she would not have to go back to her old school. After applying, she went to shadow at the school to see if she liked it, while also giving them the opportunity to test her to see if she would be a good fit for their academically accelerated program. As it turns out, we were lucky that a new charter school had opened close by and had taken a lot of their students, so they had openings!!! The school was so fabulous I couldn't believe it. Very small classes with lots of one-on-one attention. They have lots of outside activities like going to the opera and hiking local places. It was so impressive that I withdrew my daughter from the local public school and am having her finish out the year there. I wouldn't normally think that would be a good idea, but she wasn't learning anything at her old school, so I couldn't imagine it being negative in any way. She went to shadow and never went back to her old school. Thankfully, the small classes allow the teachers to help catch my daughter up in things that she missed learning during her months in public school (important things that all 4th graders need to know for future school success). She loves going to school again! Now she comes home excited about debate class, learning a foreign language (they offer Spanish, French, German & Latin) and building a battery powered car (the middle schoolers designed solar powered) in technology class. If you are looking for an alternative school choice for an exceptional 1st-8th grader, I highly recommend Woodlands Academy. We are excited to have a great place lined up for next year. If I had found them sooner, or my about to be 8th grader hadn't already gotten into the STEM School & Academy for next year, I would pull her out of her enormous middle school and gladly send her to the Woodlands Academy where she could get the attention she deserves as an above average student who is clearly not getting enough attention focussed on her with her classes of 30+ students at the local middle school (which had great reviews, btw).

My concern wasn't the place or the activities for my daughter so much as it was whether or not the staff would be friendly and nice to my little one.

It's called Parent Watch and every time I've "checked in" I've seen nothing but happy children and the staff are very patient.
