The energy that we felt as we left was remarkable we were truly stimulated. Thank you Wyatt Roberts

How do you even review a High School? Well, since I am home in Parker, Colorado for Christmas, I…read morethought it would be appropriate to review the school I knew oh so well from 1998-2002. On a good day the horrid ceilings look like espetus. The weird array of lunch food. Yes, I used to eat just French fries for lunch. I also learned in the cafeteria why you don't put aluminum foil in the microwave! I went to this school when the only housing around was the southern most tip of the South Pinery. There wasn't the Mormon church or even the amazing Carl's Jr just a mile away. We were in the middle of NOTHING. I loved almost every teacher I had. The theater and band were quite good and well renown in the area. Same for the football team. Granted it has been almost nine years since my graduation, but my heart is still filled with Mustang pride! I'll miss sneaking outside of the second floor door to have a smoke...or having the worst Chemistry class experience ever. I miss you Ponderosa, and yet... I don't at all.

Teaching kids empathy through seeing their teacher as a human being? So relationships matter? Hmmm, rigor, relevance, and relationships. I remember learning about that in teach school! I visited this school. What a wonderful environment. Keep up the good work! Children working creatively and actually applying the skills they are learning. That sounds amazing. I would love for my kids to go to such a wonderful school

The high school teachers have stated that they notice a difference and they are happy! They notice that my child had a different experience in education.

During my time at this school, I was assigned responsibilities well beyond my role, including…read morecovering ALL kindergarten library times, leading lunch announcements over the microphone, and supervising lunch/recess/hallway lines. Despite these expectations, I received little to no support from the administration. The demands of these responsibilities often conflicted with one another. My coworkers regularly expressed that the lunchroom was difficult to manage without my presence, while I was simultaneously expected to cover all kindergarten library times. This left me feeling like I was expected to be in two places at once and made it impossible to fully meet the needs of either responsibility. The principal rarely interacted with staff and visited my classroom only once every couple of months, often calling me by the wrong name. The vice principal consistently failed to follow through with student discipline and frequently required educational assistants to apologize for appropriately enforcing school expectations. Student behavior was often managed inconsistently. I was told by a kindergartener that the vice principal had given them a phone to watch TikTok. In another concerning situation, a fourth-grade female student who reported being punched in the stomach by a male classmate was allowed to decide whether her parents would be informed. Too often, it felt as though students, rather than staff, were in control. School administrators would often reprimand staff for not awarding Golden Tickets to students whenever a parent complained, even when those students had not demonstrated the appropriate behavior to earn the recognition that day. This created inconsistency in the school's behavior management system and undermined staff members' professional judgment. Instead of teaching students appropriate coping skills, conflict resolution, or self-regulation strategies, disruptive behavior was frequently rewarded with toys or playtime in the office. This approach undermined classroom expectations and made it difficult to maintain a safe, respectful learning environment. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this school as a workplace due to the lack of administrative support, unrealistic workload expectations, inconsistent discipline practices, and overall school culture. Lastly, my child attended this school and was not consistently challenged with work that matched their abilities or academic potential.

With her starting 5th grade this year, we knew it was time to bring in a professional. Our daughter has a rare genetic disorder, comprehension challenges, and a broad learning disability, which makes it hard to know exactly what changes to push for as parents. That's why we're so grateful for Phil! He's already made a huge difference, with updating her IEP accordingly and suggesting other necessary changes to her school day. We're in a much better place than just a few months ago and are excited to keep working with him.
