Trails West Elementary School

Trails West Elementary is excellent! The school emphasizes the importance of reading and encourages children to read every day and to fully comprehend WHAT they read about. Trails West participates in REACH program, which allows children with advanced knowledge to be involved in challenging projects and pursue greater opportunities! Thanks to everyone in Trails West!!!

I believe Trails West is an amazing school. All of the Teacher's my daughter has had, have been wonderful. A certian Kindergarten teacher has went above and beyond to work with my daughter, she continues to work with her and my daughter is now going into 4th grade! Mr. Strikland is a wonderful principal and I am very sad that this is his last year. I truly have nothing bad to say about the school, Teachers or Staff! I would recommend this school to everyone I know!

Trails West is the best elementary school any of my kids has attended. From the principal, Mr. Strickland to the teachers and staff; Trails West teaches our kids to live, love, laugh, and learn! They not only reinforce how important is it to excel in academics, they remind students to be good citizens - to strive to help others and to set a good example to their peers. I'm grateful to be a part of the TW family.

Trails West Elementary is an excellent school. I really feel that my property values are protected by having such a great school in our neighborhood. I know most people don't know about this great school because it is tucked away in the housing development. It is very safe and supervised at all times. My children come home happy and have increased their scores tremendously. We love the care and commitment that each teacher has given to our children. If you are not happy here, you are probably not involved enough. Getting to know this group of hardworking people let me understand how much effort goes into educating children. It has a great traditional schedule and you will see that there are alot of administrators and teachers that send their kids here-from all districts. Wow, that really says something. I highly recommend this school to anyone.

My daughter attended Trails West Elementry form K-3 and mostly liked it the only things that my family did not like was that there gifted program is not where it should be and the after school program is very unsatisfactory. When we moved to littleton we found that there are some schools that handly diversity and gifted children much better.

Trails West has been the most outstanding school our family has attended in Cherry Creek Schools. My daughter is thriving and enjoying the many after school activities offered. The staff is excellent, the leadership is terrific, and safety is of the utmost importance to this staff. I believe this school was one of the first in CCSD to have security keys for entrance and has special monitoring to ensure student safety. Parent involvement is of the greatest and highest quality I have seen in raising our three children. I would recommend this school to anyone transferring in as a school of choice or home of record school. Anyone would appreciate the level of professionalism at this school.

I have loved my experience with Trails West. It is nice to have a principal that recognizes the good kids on a regular bases and rewards them for their efforts. The teachers that my kids were lucky to have went the extra mile to make sure that they learned in a way that fit them best. I am lucky that my kids have the opportunity to attend a great school

Wow, I can't say enough about this school. It has the world's best principal and a great teaching staff. My kids learned so much everyday and couldn't wait to get to school in the morning. I don't think you could find a better place to trust your kids to learn!

Very disappointing. Discipline problems, school bulling runs rampant. Academics is not where it should be for this district. Not at all happy with this school. Transferring out.

I had two of my daughters go all the way through at this school. The current principal is leaving, which is a good thing. The are teacher is phenomenal and the music program is good only if your child is gifted in this area. I feel this school really helped my child who was gifted in the area of reading, but my other child, who in second grade, wasn't reading well at that time, fell through the cracks and received no additional help. Overall, the quality of this school is good.

My son learned to read last year and he is a special needs student that requires a lot of support. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff at Trails West Elementary School.
