Open Quote Most teachers here are great, but the school has areas for improvement. Grade averages are low as of 2013 in math, reading and language arts. My child attended there for just over a month before we placed her into a different school due to a variety of issues that I felt were poorly handled. School needs to ensure that ALL staff understand how to handle children and parents with respect.

Female gym teacher disrespected me to my face and to my daughter with regards to a hand injury and a doctors note saying she can't write for 2 days. She felt it was unreasonable. Tried to force her to write with other hand, and when she couldn't pointed her out in front of class to try to abuse peer pressure to get my child to write.

A teacher sent my child down to the school nurse for a migraine, school nurse turned my child away for not having a hall pass...my child had to go back to other side of building to get it in order to get assistance from the nurse and to get me called to pick her up.

These are just two situations that we experienced before we enrolled her elsewhere. Close Quote

Open Quote Minutes from Fort Carson, shopping, freeway. Besides a beautiful view of Cheyenne Mountain. An awesome, safe neighborhood surrounds the school. If I didn't have to drive to go to work to drop off my children, I'd feel good about them walking home safely. Wonderful teachers. I wish my oldest daughter had gone there instead of in another district we were stuck in. Close Quote
