Highline Academy Charter School

This is a great school!!! my daughter loves Highline. The principal, teachers and staff care about the students. As a parent what concernes me is 30 students in a 3rd grade class, why so many?

Not impressed with the school. My son is not challenged, no one holds him accountable for anything, too many reward systems so even HE doesn't know why he gets rewards when he does. Work that is woefully wrong gets A's for grades because the rubric didn't require it to be accurate, so he didn't have to fix anything. No one requires him to spell correctly, which coming from a family of teachers is very hard to swallow. Communication between some of the teachers and family was good, others we could never reach. Still shaking my head as to why people are loving it so so much.

I am going to be a eighth grader this year at Highline. I have been here since 3rd grade and I habe learned so much more than othe students my age due to the amazing teachers and staff. I love highline!!! If there was a highline high school, I would not be leaving. Thank you so much for everything Highline!!!

This is an excellent school. The teachers are involved, caring, strict , and expect your child to come along for the ride. Our experience for the last 3 years has been excellent. I particularly want to commend their special education department for really being on top of and in tune with my child. It has been very good for her!

My Kindergartener was initially stubborn about participating in class activities or learning to read. Her teacher was able to overcome this difficulty within one week. Now, at the end of the year, my daughter is performing at grade level for reading and at the first grade level for math. There are many opportunities for parental involvment, and the school really feels like a community. Additionally, you do not need to be in Denver to attend this charter. They have many students from other districts like Aurora.

As a parent of two students at the school, I am incredibly impressed. My students are challenged and supported in their academics--an ideal balance. Both have made substantial academic gains under the dedicated care of their teachers. As importantly, they are part of an inclusive and diverse community. We live in a segregated city and we couldn't be more appreciative of the fact that our kids have an unusual opportunity to help build and thrive in a safe, structured, and equitable community environment. Go Highline!

This school is a great community. Teachers team with Parents to support the educational journey of the students. The curriculum is challenging and creative with lots of different approaches to learning. The school is made up of a diverse group of families who, on an everyday basis, bring a broad perspective on the world into the classroom. Highline Academy is indeed a Great School.

Good concept but poorly executed at this time. Communication lacking from teachers to parents.
