It's great to have my kid at Quest, where so many parents are actively involved and supportive. Of course there might be a bad apple (apparently there is, although I haven't seen it myself) but I can say that I have found the parents I have met take responsibility for their kids and their education, and that is just one of the many absolutely wonderful things about the school.

I think the school speaks for itself! Look at the numbers. Tour the facility. Meet the parents. Meet the teachers. If you can't feel the positive vibe in person.. if you can't see the attitudes that are obvious in the children's demeanor.. then you must be having a bad day! We just love it!

The CSAP scores and the awards from the CDE are proof that this school is doing all it can to educate our children totally, not just academically. Aurora Quest is a great school not just because of the building. We have very dedicted teachers who go the extra mile to ensure that no child is left behind. Children who are gifted are taken beyond their ability and imagination and those who are not arestretched beyond their capacity. Those who do not want to work will not do well at quest, sorry. Our new principal is doing a great job.

we love our school very much. Even though we are in kindergarten, we felt very involved in theschool life all year long. I'm a very structred parent, so it was little hard to follow with the curriculum itself, but seems like my daughter was doing great, no hours of homework, all projests were done at school, so we can actually plan our after school activities. Problem though the school starts too early in the morning 7:45. we had to wake up at 6, to be there on time. But w made it. Today is the last school day. we are looking forward to start the 1 st grade.

My boys are going to this school now, sadly for the last year because we have to move. The teachers are amazing. My son is in kindergarten and he got tested for placement at his new school and they recommended that he skip 1st grade and go straight to 2nd grade! My older son has attention issues and his teacher has done everything she can to help him with this. Amazing teachers and staff. I wish this school up and move it to where we will be moving to. I know that the other schools will fail in comparison to this one.

We love this school! Great teachers, wonderfull staff, awesome facilities. If your child is gifted or an accelerated learner, this is the school you want your child to attend! I love that the student body is so diverse, and what is great is everyone is committed to their child attending - it isn't in a neighborhood persay, so it is basically its own community, but of choice. The parents all put in a minimum of 20 hours of volunteer work, so the school is very supported by its parents, and both sides (parents, staff) feel very appreciated. I love all the feedback I receive from my daughter's teachers, and my favorite part is that everyone (the staff, other students, etc.) seems to know her name, even though she is only in the 1st grade. Children are very challenged, and my daughter is personally challenged at her level - the teachers and staff have the freedom to challenge the children individually based on their own skill levels & talents. Love love love Aurora Quest K-8!!

I would give Quest 6 stars if I could. The school is well run. The teachers really care. The students are the best. The parents are involved. We had our son in private school for first grade and I am so glad we switched to Quest. Our family is truly lucky.

I have had one of my boys in Aurora Quest for 8 years, and my younger 2 were just accepted. This has been a wonderful school for my gifted boys. The teachers keep my kids challenged and interested in learning. Aurora Quest also give my boys the opportunity to further their education with high school credit in 7th and 8th grades. My oldest will be going on to high school to where he will not only receive his diploma, but an associates degree when he graduates. He will be able to do so because of the education he received at Aurora Quest K-8. I firmly believe that Aurora Quest K-8 is the best school in the state, not just my opinion, but with the state testing scores. The teachers are also top rated in my opinion. They actually care about the students to ensure they succeed.

I love this school. It has been the best decision to go here. The teachers really do know how to teach you, and if you are confused you can always go to them for help. I get the education I need, which was not given to me at my other school because I was always a higher level here. Bullying is not a problem and the friends you can get there are wonderful. This is a great school to go to.
