It's a very good school…read more My whole life I've been bullied and at this school I made so many friends and people started being so much nicer to me. And if someone tired something people wouldn't stand for it. There's great rather and art programs and also STEM programs. I've honestly had a great experience at this school. I would 100% recommend to send your kids here. From the classes to the people everything is great

Not many people were a fan of high school. Not many students would be un-biased enough to not write…read morea review based on the teacher that yelled at them or receiving their first B. I however had my fair of triumph and failure at Arvada West, and can still say that it was a great place to attend school. I felt that Arvada West really worked well on all fronts. Excluding minorities, it had people of all economic backgrounds, so no one was alienated based on their economic status. They worked well with kids ahead of and behind the curve. They stayed focused yet still offered a way to enjoy. I no longer know the administration, but I can honestly say if they are as committed to excellence now as they were then, it is a great place to send students. Sports teams are both fun and competitive, great Choir program, great student body.

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.

As a former Warren Tech student, it saddens me to say that I firmly believe allowing our child to…read moreattend was likely the worst decision we have made as parents. One with far-reaching & long-lasting ramifications that far surpass any benefit of one school year spent on this campus. The experience here took a historically outgoing and engaged student, with very well thought out plans for the future that wanted to utilize the course here as a stepping stone to an already chosen future career path and derailed it. An independent and more mature learning experience is expected from Warren Tech, but the complete and utter lack supervision, intelligence or guidance by the administration at this campus is unsurpassed. It has lead to a long, threatening journey for our child/family and turned an open, good-natured and gregarious student into to one who now struggles to trust anyone or find a path. We should have pulled our student out of their program the first semester. Hindsight is 20-20....

This school it the down right worst place to put your child. The teachers here suck and are mean to…read morekids. I am a 7th grader here at this school and my mental state has gradually declined from this school. Some of the teachers give off this weird energy and should not be working with kids. Out of all of the adults here there are maybe 5 at most who have generally been kind to the kids here. The punishments for this school are laughable. The punishments are harsh for small actions and the punishments for big actions are small. All of the teachers here talk so badly about the students and don't even care if they are right there. The passing periods are only 3 minutes which is not enough time for a student to go to their locker get some water or use the bathroom. We get 5 passes (for water, bathroom,supplies,ect) per class per semester (2 semesters in the whole year). in summary, don't send your kid to this toxic waste of a school. 1 star is a generous rating.

The jeffco school dress code is very sexist. The same assistant principal also caused one of my friends panic attack. She passed out because of it in the bathroom. The councilor dress coded me while having a savior panic attack and didn't tell my mother anything that her and the assistant principal did and only said that I was the problem. Don't put your kids in this school unless you want them in a very sexist school to be judged and sexualized.

My child was provoked by another student telling him he was glad his friend died. All my child did…read moreIn response was say, "Why the F*** would you say that about my friend?" My child was 6 feet away from the other student And didn't touch him. There was no physical altercation and nothing else was said. This was the first major interaction between my child and the other student. They sent my child back to class. They talked with the other student but no staff member ever followed up with my child to investigate, offer restoration, or provide any interventions or support. Nobody contacted or informed me, the parent. The first adult to speak to my child was an SRO officer a week after the incident threatening him with a no-contact contract and a ticket. When I tried to resolve this with the principal she harassed and bullied my child with false accusations that could not be backed up with documentation, never addressed any of my concerns, and then engaged in lying, manipulation, and gaslighting. This school does not act to fidelity with their own discipline matrix. The teachers and friends kept us there as long as we were, but if you are there long enough your child and then you will be traumatized by administration and "the behavior support team". They regularly weaponize law enforcement against a vulnerable population of children that are engaging in developmentally appropriate behaviors that should easily be resolved by staff. They are so unskilled that they resort to officer intimidation tactics and promote a school to prison pipeline. Be warned! The admin and staff that deal with behaviors have no business working with children or families, let alone families that need extra compassion, support, or trauma-informed care.
