School culture is a plus as there are plenty of opportunities for parents to volunteer from the classroom, PTA, Values to Action committee to major celebrations like fall festival. Overall a great place to get involved and know what's going on.

The teachers are exceptionally caring and attentive to each child's individual learning style and needs. The community is truly unmatched. We've built meaningful family friendships over the years that have become deeply important to us personally. You can feel it from the very first tour, they really care.

Stanley did a good job for k-1-2-3 and then things got really bad. Everything looks/sounds great at…read morefirst glance but they are not the reality. The teacher turn over is very high and the school is academically mediocre. This is a Woke school. If you are OK with CRT, sexual ideology and having your kid and you as a parent singled out for not following the "trend" then it will be right for your family. Otherwise, look elsewhere. The lack of common sense is just absurd. As an example, in a subzero winter day, the kids were FORCED to eat OUTSIDE due to their COVID policy. The kids were freezing and when they tried to come back into the building to warm up, the doors were intentionally locked. When they found an open door, the teacher kicked them out. A complaint with the State of Colorado for child neglect and abuse was filed. I think Stanley used to be great but not anymore. I'm sure the recent positive reviews are from parents that fit the woke bill.

We just got back from the annual Carson Community Dinner. A spaghetti meal with as many parents,…read morekids and staff as we can find. It is held in the cafeteria and people and children are milling about, eating their pasta, smiling, chatting, laughing and just plain old ENJOYING this simple moment in time. The choir sang ... my heart grew at least 7 sizes. Smiling faces of elementary school kids, dressed up, singing in the round, singing their hearts out. It was better than any Broadway show I've seen. There were 3 young men, two 4th graders and one 5th, and they played the flute, clarinet and sax. There are no words for how cute this was and how hard these boys must have worked. Not to mention Angie Hanning, the music and drama teacher here. She is priceless and the amount of time she puts in with the children is great.Thank you Angie. We had to say good bye to our principal Gwen Gethers... after 30 years with DPS. Gwen will be nearly impossible to replace. It was one of those nights, one of those moments you have... when you "get" just how very lucky and thankful you are. This school has given us so much. A wonderful, safe, creative, education and sense of community beaming with integrity and respect. If you you are shopping around for the best of the best in schools, stop right here.

Unfortunately, I still have a child attending this school, so this is a throwaway account. However,…read morethis doesn't dispute the fact that the staff at St. Elizabeth's does not know how to handle situations involving bullying or learning differences. My child, that was previously in the elementary school, was not treated with the proper care that was needed for the delicate situation that was negatively affecting several kids. The teacher, dean, and head of school had no consideration for my child or me and tried to dismiss my concerns over their management of the situation. Aside from the bullying, the teachers at this school aren't equipped to deal with different learning disabilities and, unintentionally or not, isolated my child from the rest of their peers which led to said bullying situation. I've heard of several other bullying cases ranging from the elementary school to the middle school. This is a consistent issue for the Staff and Faculty at this school. The only reason this is a 2 star and not a one star is because my child that is still attending the school has shown over the years how good their education can be. However, this can never make up for the complete disregard of the safety of children attending their school. I've seen the community of this school deteriorate over the years and hoped that it would change for the better; but it has not.
