This is the best school in Colorado. The love and care of the teachers and administrators is great! We live in Littleton and have great schools near by but Bethelehm is way above all the schools we visited...

Bethelehm provies a great experience for children in a Christ centered environment. The perfect start to move on the Denver Lutheran High School. Both combined helped my children prepare for college and life.

I love Bethlehem! I have been amazed by the level of attention they give to each student, how loving and thoughtful they are. They make sure the parents know what is going on and because of that the students excel in the classroom.

Bethleham Lutheran is the best school in Colorado. It is truly a school where the teachers and staff care about shaping the students in every aspect of their lives. It shows quite clearly that it is more than just a school or a job, it is a minitry.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
