The amount of money I've had to pay for a public school, this public school is ridiculou! not only that but they allow bullying and do nothing about it. when your kid graduates the 8th grade they are so cheap here they don't even give them a continuation! it's crap.

If you are wondering yes the school does have a playground. Yes the cafeteria does look like a cafè. The school is probably the biggest school I've been to. No the school does not have a pool. If you have Physical Education that Quarter yes they do have a boys locker room and a girls' locker room. In each locker room there are showers. I recommend not using them because you have 5 minutes to change and change out. You don't want to be late to your next class!

We had high hopes for this school when we originally enrolled our children. Those hope were soon…read moreshattered by the horrible administration. They are running this school into the ground at an alarming pace. Families are fleeing under the current administration. Our son was being sexually harassed constantly by some kids in his class and we were laughed at by Mrs. Blair and Mr. Randall when we brought it up (We have them on a voice recording doing this and the school still did nothing). They refused to take this seriously and our sons mental health suffered because of this. We were told by the administration that Vanguard was a choice school and we could go elsewhere if we didn't like it. The school refused to do anything until we threatened to go to the media and started a Title 9 Investigation. That investigation found repeated evidence that these kids were sexually harassing students in the classroom so they quietly moved them to another classroom and did nothing else to apologize. Administrators play favorites and will disrespect and treat children they do not like poorly. They favor the staff children for activities, sports, and all other extracurricular activities. They refuse to hire any additional guidance counselors and rely on one for the entire school. They do not take the kids mental health seriously and have nothing in place to help kids suffering with depression and bullying. If there is an instance of bullying they will move that child to another class where they can find more students to pick on and have no repercussions. Like many of the other families that are leaving this school we have removed our children from this toxic environment and are going to a different school district. It also looks as if google is removing/not posting negative reviews about this school.

William J. Palmer High School is located downtown, near Acacia Park and kitty-corner with the…read morestatue of Palmer riding his horse. As a Palmer alumni, I can say I wouldn't have wanted to go to any other high school in Colorado Springs. The location is great, the teachers are in general good, and the feel of the place is great. Palmer also has the I.B. program, an international program that offers a 4 year accelerated level of study, which can give significant college credits, since you are taking college-level courses in high school. The program requires rigorous testing at the end of the program, which would make even the hardened college-student sweat, and definitely is a great program to prepare for college. Also, since the IB program is closed to IB candidate students, this means that IB students have the same classes with a small-ish (100) group of people for 4 years. This means many strong friendships can flourish. IB aside, the school itself still excels in academics compared to other schools in Colorado Springs. The sports are eh - ask someone else who cares. The administration however of Palmer was iffy at best, especially given the needless draconian hall-monitors, as well as the bumbling of the principle and vice-principle. Security is unnecessarily tight..so much so that I think the people there actually are considering that a terrorist might decide to go ape-shit on a random high-school in a random town in a random state. Ridiculous. Still, if you have an option, send your kid here...they will thank you later.

I have never…read moreseen more unchristian acts from the students and some of the parents at a sports function as I have anywhere else. I do not make this statement lightly either. I called and emailed the school last year and received no response. There is absolutely no need to heckle, jeer, or swear at the opposing team or their family and friends. The school might have Christian in its name, however it does not appear in the character or hearts of the student body in or around your stands currently. The school and its parents need to hold these kids to the highest standard as they profess to represent our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I attended this school from 2nd grade through high school graduation…read more What makes this school unique is how it does not follow the traditional schedule of most schools. Breaks are taken from elementary school on to have students experience the world around them. Each year students take a different trip, starting in elementary school to places like MEsa Verde or Bent's Old Fort. In Middle School there are many programs to choose from that allow you to take a break from constant studying and explore topics that are interesting for you (I remember taking comic book art and acting). In High School the ECS program cannot be beat. A whole month off to study a topic in depth while traveling? I went to Italy and Bulgaria with these programs and felt that they enhanced my life and encouraged me to explore beyond what most students have when finishing high school. It also gives students the opportunity to play sports when they may not of had one in other schools. It may have changed since I was there, but anyone who wanted to play a sport could, and tryouts would only determine JV and Varsity levels. Small class sizes and dedicated and talented teachers make this school stand out. I owe a lot of my bright future to the great education I received at this school.
