When my children struggled, whether it was academically or socially, the teachers were nothing but supportive, compassionate, and determined to help get them back on track. My son had a few behavioral issues over the years and they were dealt with fairly. The 6th grade team does a fantastic job of preparing the kids for Junior High. I would highly recommend this school for your kiddos!

Dennison Elementary has a 44 year tradition of delivering one of the finest elementary educations…read moreto young people in Jefferson County. This is demonstrated by the numerous awards Dennison receives, the community of teachers, students, parents and alumni and the strong connection between Dennison and D'Evelyn High School. Dennison is a large lottery only Jeffco elementary school. It has a very diverse and inclusive population of students and families who attend and to me, this is one reason I think the school is exceptional. Dedicated teachers lead rigorous whole group classes to fully prepare students for junior high, high school, college and beyond. All children are held to the same educational and behavioral expectations. The students learn respect for others, accountability for learning and gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. The staff is hard-working, very dedicated and cares deeply about protecting the learning environment for students. If you are considering Dennison, take a tour. You'll notice the students are respectful, quite when walking through the halls and if you look into each classroom you will find children engaged and learning. The children utilize text books and can be observed reading, writing and taking many tests. Dennison is continually the highest ranked elementary school in Jeffco because the educational and behavioral model works. Wish more schools would follow Dennison's model to give more students this type of unique learning environment.

I attended Rooney Ranch about 14 years ago myself, and had an amazing elementary experience. My…read moresiblings also now attend Rooney Ranch and the school itself is amazing. But the past couple years they have had issues with Mrs. Mikel. We have never had any issues with bullying, let alone any issues at all. They have been coming home mopey and rather sad most days because they feel bullied by their own teacher. It was hat day at school and Mrs. Mikel was giving the kids a treat for wearing hats and gave all the kids a treat accept my brother. I'm not sure if it was because his hat was from our church or what the case may be but that is one way to make a kid feel less than the others. He was so crushed that "Mrs. Mikel doesn't like him". And that's just one scenario of many. But being a teacher of such young kids, it's especially important to make them all feel valued, and that's not happening in her classroom whatsoever. I am not a person to complain but this is getting out of hand and it's effecting my brother at home now. Just think about how your actions affect the littles, you're supposed to be their safe space, not a place where they dread to be.

Teachers and admins are wonderful. Just the right amount of homework and I am continually amazed at the things they are learning.

I graduated Golden View 2 years ago. What can I say about this school to sum up my love for it…read more Golden view changed me both as a student and as a person. I learned what it meant to have virtue. The teachers are the best people you will ever meet. Their joy and wonder for life and learning inspires me to this day. However, this school is not for the weak of heart. It takes grit and determination to do well with their classical education. But if you commit, you will learn what it truly means to be human. My love for learning flourished as did my love for the world around me. I will send my kids here one day. And hopefully be apart of the Golden View family forever.

From the owner: Golden View Classical Academy is modeled after the most successful classical and liberal arts…read moreschools in Colorado. Golden View Classical Academy offers a robust and traditional liberal arts and sciences curriculum, to include literature, history, science, math, art, music, and physical education. In the elementary school, students are taught to read using an explicit phonics program with a focus on grammar and spelling, along with cursive handwriting. Saxon and Singapore math are strategically sequenced to take advantage of the strengths of each program. An early exposure to Latin and Greek roots is followed by a formal Latin sequence in grades 6-9 in order to enhance the student's vocabulary, spelling, and command of the English language. In the upper grades, instruction includes a course in rhetoric, the use of primary source documents, Socratic seminar, and the study of classical literature that has withstood the test of time. Golden View Classical Academy also includes a special focus on Western Civilization, US History, and the principles of America's model of government and free-market economic system.

Sandoval Elementary seems to be one of the best elementary school choices in the Highlands area…read more The DPS system does not have an excellent reputation. My son has been attending Sandoval a few years now. Sandoval is a little strange. The classes are grouped so for example 1,2 and 3rd graders are all lumped together for 3 years. I did question this method, but the bright side is that it creates some stability in class mates and teachers. It's half Spanish speaking which I feel is a mixed blessing as well. My son is learning two languages but I am afraid he may end up a "jack of all trades master of none" but the verdict is still out. The school is kind of hard to get into, so I think the parents and kids seem to take learning a little more seriously at this school.
