    My child also experienced bullying over the course of many years. After the principal and school…read morecounselor proved they weren't interested in resolving this problem, we removed our children from ACS. I would never recommend this charter school to any parent.

    I am a recently graduated student from acs. Over the 5 years I was at acs I felt like I was not…read moreonly being drowned out by school work but also the disrespect of not only students, but also the teachers/staff. Starting out at the school I noticed a severe case of bullying from other students which I ended up experiencing myself. Some kids were physically hurt and others mentally, and the schools staff failed to punish or take the situation seriously when brought to them. When I was in 6th grade I was being bullied by multiple classmates and when I brought it to the counselor, nothing was resolved nor did she attempt to even speak with the students. I have noticed how much the school lacks in providing a safe environment when it comes to mental health and bullying for students. When I entered middle school the sheer amount of work pressed on us caused constant anxiety of failed grades and teacher relationships. Especially in 8th grade I found myself doing homework from the time I got home till dinner, then starting back up until late at night. Even after spending hours I still couldn't find the time to do it all. Many students found themselves falling behind in classes and not having the time to have fun extracurriculars to enjoy. Spending so long on homework caused a lack of sleep for the students making it harder to focus. Most teachers didn't seem to have the patience for it. If you weren't passing a class many teachers claimed you just didn't have good time management or didn't pay attention, instead of acknowledging how much work they forced on students. Teacher student relationships often struggled from this. However, giving acs one star goes out truly to the few teachers I found at that school that were really helpful and kind. It wasn't until middle school that I found a teacher willing to listen and provide a safe classroom along with stern advice and good teaching that has helped me become who I am now. He will remain an important mentor in my life. I also found that my 6th grade homeroom teacher helped me get through the tough times of that year. If you are planning on sending your children through this school, please prepare to set them up with therapy or consider moving them into online school instead. Most students I attended acs with have left the school with a lower self esteem, self worth, pride, and joy than children leaving 8th grade should. I even know a student in my grade who moved schools halfway through 8th grade year because of student and teacher disrespect. That student recently told me how toxic the acs environment truly was and how much better his new school ended up being. Reconsider sending your kid please.

    I am a graduate of DCHS from the 90's and sent my kiddo here as we live close and I had a good…read moreexperience. However, my son had a terrible time at DC. He is a good student, super social, has great friends, is in student leadership and government and is a great kid. While at DC he had a group of girls use safe to tell as a weapon against him, they had his car vandalized, they posted they wanted him dead on social media and the school did virtually nothing. In fact the school pulled him into the office, searched his body (with no reasoning, I was told this is protocol for being in the office), left him in a room for 4 hours with no bathroom or access to water and then sent him home without contacting his parents not caring what happened to him he left. My jittery teen was near tears, almost had an accident and was lucky to get home safely. This is a small snippet of what we dealt with over the course of a year. Administration is inept at DC in my opinion. I work in another school in the district and have never seen such behavior from a group of adults. I moved my son to Legend and now he is getting straight A's, the admin is lovely and the kids are kind, he's really shining. I wish I could do it all over again. If your not sure about DC do yourself a favor and try searching Instagram for DC related pages where you will find student owned anonymous pages where they post terrible and illegal photos of each other on campus doing horrendous things with the DC logo as their image. DC doesn't seem to care about this happening on their campus. In fact bathrooms at DC are closed right now because students are masturbating into the drains and blocking up the system, don't know about you, but I would rather not send my kids somewhere like this.

We have lived all over the…read morecountry, and of our 4 children, our youngest was the only one to go to the same high school as I did. It is nice to see that standards haven't changed. I loved this high school, way back when it was the only high school in Douglas County, Highlands ranch didn't exist and Dry Creek was a dirt road. The teachers were what made this high school and I feel very fortunate to have gone here. Thank you Mr. Gammon and Mrs White. I miss the "old days" when teachers could reach out and hug you, when you and your best friend decide to "miss the buss" so that you didn't have to take the scheduled test 1st hour, your science teacher sees you walking up front street, stops his car to find out why you are walking, insists you get in the car so you don't miss first hour and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. You certainly wouldn't see that today! Thank you DCHS for the wonderful memories!

    There isn't much this school has going for it. Take advice from a former student (me, now a…read moresophomore in high school) who had come back to this yelp page to give good feedback for the school and advice for parents thinking about enrolling their student. First, don't base the enrollment of your student off this review but please take note as to what your child might experience at this school. Now, into my insight on this school. Though I had been there only from 1st-6th I had to transfer due to poor ability to put kids in the right classes and an awful 1:35 male to woman staff employment. As you can tell, it is very uncommon to have very little male staff members, and you might be wondering "could this school give more opportunity to succeed for a girl rather than a boy" the answer is yes. many sexist teachers flood the school every year and they seem to have a vendetta against male students. Though this could be blindly overlooked when your student is younger, by 5th grade, it becomes very obvious. Second, the teachers' ability to teach proper lessons is awful. The school hires younger teachers so they can pay them less, in hope to save money. It also seems that training doesn't exist at this school because some teachers seem very clueless as to what new students might need for resources. In all, this school should not be your primary choice but feel free to overlook this comment
