This school is great. As a parent, I attend PTO meetings, but I do not want to become involved in private matters between the teachers and their bosses. In almost any workplace there are those that do not feel 'supported' in one aspect or another, and some may decide to work elsewhere. There were a few great teachers that left last year, and that was unfortunate. Also unfortunate was all of the gossip and details (about their conflict) that was leaked to parents during that time. It was probably hard for some parents not to get caught up in that conflict. The teachers at this school are terrific and to say that the 'good ones are gone' and discount those parents and teachers who remain, sounds like sour grapes.

The teachers at this school are not provided with the support needed by the administration and many of the best teachers have left. Ask your teachers if they bring their own children to this school and it's a good indicator of the quality of school you have.

This is a wonderful school. My 3 year old now 4 year has learned so much in such a little bit of time. I am now sending his little brother and have pulled my 2 older step sons out of a horrible charter school to send them here. The teachers a wonderful and the staff is pleasant to work with. What a awesome place for our children to be.

This is our first year with The Academy at High Point and we are very pleased. After looking at other schools in the surrounding area, it wasn't hard to realize that this school best represented our values and beliefs of an educational system and a community. Disrespecting other students is not tolerated and is consistent with the general theme of an all inclusive school environment. The teachers and administrators care about the students and hold the students and parents accountable for the success of a well rounded student. This school should continue to expect its students, parents and teachers to share a love for learning , an awareness of ones health and a kindness towards one another. Go Huskies!!!!

We have 2 children at this school. They are both being tested for the gifted program and are doing wonderful at this school. We actually chose this school over private schools that we had our choice of and transfered out of the much vaunted 'Cherry Creek School' district. I am glad that we did.

This school is GREAT! The school day is longer and they focus on Technology and Wellness. They do reading at the same time for the whole school so kids can move up or down to their level. Love this school would recommend to anyone!

This school is fantastic! The teachers are wonderful by really caring about the education that each child gets. The class sizes are great with real one on one attention on a daily basis. We just had an 'End of BASH' that was great. They provided games, face painting, food, and a great environment for the whole school community to get to know one another. Top notch school!!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.

More from this school
  • High Point Academy is an award-winning wellness school. We ensure that our students spend their school hours in a healthy learning environment. We do this not only because healthy kids are better learners, but also because we want to promote healthy habits at a young age, thereby making it easier for our students to make healthy choices as adults. Our wellness program has been recognized locally by the Colorado Legacy Foundation and Channel 4 News, and nationally by the USDA.
