If you think that Ralston Valley is a good school, then you are sadly mistaken. The previous year I…read morespent at this school was the worst year of my life. Some of the girls in my choir class were being mean to me and when I told my choir teacher about it she literally defended them and made up excuses. She was completely okay with the fact that those girls were making me feel miserable. If you were thinking about joining the choir program at Ralston Valley, think again and join it at any other school. The current choir teacher at Ralston Valley picks favorites and defends mean girl behavior. She cares more about her and the Ralston Valley choir programs image than the well being of her students. The administration at this school is also horrendous. They do absolutely nothing about bullying and make up excuses to defend the bullies, just like the choir teacher.

The principal has repeatedly shown that she does not care about the students' wellbeing. Whenever…read morestaff members try to provide support for these students, she dismisses their efforts without a second thought. Rather than addressing important concerns, she retaliates and damages the lives of the staff she is supposed to protect. This school has so many students--how long do you think she can continue her neglectful actions without something tragic happening? What will she do when that day comes? Hold a school-wide meeting? Blame an imaginary group of bullies? Or maybe they did exist--who knows? Clearly, she doesn't, considering she's nearly allowed multiple students to die under her watch. What do you think will happen at that meeting? The friends of the student will mourn their loss while the principal feigns sympathy, pretending she's innocent and hasn't contributed to the tragedy? It's disgusting. She is twisted, and I will not stay silent until she is removed. Jeffco has failed its staff repeatedly, denying them adequate medical care and fair compensation, leaving them on the brink of homelessness. But beyond that, they've failed your children. If you're a parent, you may want to reconsider sending your child to this school, as it's clear the principal couldn't care less if a student drops dead in the halls. At least she treats the staff poorly, so perhaps that's the only thing she cares about--her own agenda and money. I urge you to report her to any relevant authority because this is not okay. I no longer feel safe walking these halls, knowing that my principal could care less if I were dead or alive, and that my nurse is being harassed by her.

I'm not biased because I go to Arvada West, I just know a lot about it. We have a lot of kids…read moretransferring from Ralston Valley and Pomona to go to Arvada West. Awest has people from all ethnic backgrounds. Awest also has an excellent music program there which is very successful since the music teacher Mr. Manu has gotten into the Jeffco awards to actually go to the Grammy's. Arvada West is also dedicated to making sure that kids Graduate and not drop out. They are very on top of kids grades and actually helps them especially if they are on an IEP like I am. The staff makes sure that kids get the kind of help that they need and provide awesome opportunities to do so. I have struggled my entire life in school, and then when I came to Arvada West as an incoming Freshman, I didn't struggle as much especially in math. We also have an excellent program there called the "Sparkles", and it's an amazing program for students with special needs. The Sparkles go on Field trips I believe every week and the whole student body is totally 100% supportive of them! This school is worth it, even though Awest has some bad reputations it is a good school! GO CATS!

We love this school! All three of my kids have been students since pre-K. My oldest one is now in…read morehigh school, and my younger two still attend. The teachers, admin, and staff all know my kids by name and make them feel seen. We are really happy with the academics, and our test scores are significantly higher than the Colorado average. I love how the school feels like a community. We feel like the rules and dress code are reasonable, and they are there to help the kids thrive in life and the learning environment. We also love their sports and fine arts programs. My kids are involved in both, and they have had amazing experiences. If you are looking for a Christian worldview paired with a great education, we would highly recommend it.

First off the councilors don't do shit no matter how much you try and advocate for your self they…read moremor then likely won't do anything even after getting my 504 my councilor still tells me he can't do anything to help and the vice principal is racist without a doubt in my mind she will unfairly judge someone just because of there race and hide it behind concern or "her experience in the past". There are very few people there who have basic respect for you and understand you have a life outside of school. They truly only care about how they look on paper aka how the state sees the students grades and attendance witch is okay but they don't care about mental health they talk so much about wanting better but there's never any actions to their words. Don't go here no school is perfect but you can find somewhere else where they actually care about there students.

I had issues with this one kid because we had a lot of arguments and the teacher said she would follow us up with figuring it out and she never did follow through with that claim. Their burgers and buns have mold on them. I've gotten food poisoning from eating the burgers. I'm going to be going somewhere else from now on.

This school has its up and its downs but starting with the downs i would say.THE FOOD SUCKS because…read morewe have pizza almost every day and it is super dry because the sauce is always dried up and the food is some times cold, The teachers dont take time to listen to the students opinions and thoughts, if you try to email or connect with a counselor for an issue then they will either get back to you SUPER late or never. For the ups i would say that it is a good looking school with SOME nice teachers, The playground is really nice with a basketball court and a nice track and feild to walk on or play football.
