Chatfield High School

We have been so delighted with Chatfield! We are new to the area and our son's teachers really went out of their way to make sure he was adjusting well and understanding their classes. We couldn't be happier!

Very disappointed with the quality of teachers, the lack of help for my struggling child and the lack of support as we transferred to the Denver area from out-of-state. I am an educator, with 8 years of experience and believe this school is solely for the well-healed kid who is intrinsically motivated.

I've been teaching in public education for eight years now and just got my position at chatfield this past year. So far I am throughly impressed with every aspect of the school. The staff, students, school pride, and programs offered are all exceptional. Of the four schools that I've taught at throughout my career this is the first one that I would feel comfortable about sending my son/daughter too, which I think speaks volumes about the school and the education your child will recieve.

My son is a freshman this year at Chatfield and so far we really like the teacher communication and hands-on teaching styles. The transition from middle school to high school has been an exciting period and we are looking forward to the next 4 years. The building and parking lot improvements are awesome! Our son is enjoying the orchestra and foreign language programs and the US government class with Mr. Daniels is totally engaging. Go Chargers!

I think this school has a lot to offer as far as the curriculum. The band program is very unorganized, which is unfortunate. My child's counselor, Emily Smith is fantastic and is very responsive to the kids and their issues or needs. I am hoping that they do not permit kids to smoke on the corner where everyone can see them. There are a lot of fees that seem to be the norm as far as school here in CO and that makes the schools here, at least in Jefferson Co expensive. But, the school itself seems to have no serious issues and the environment seems pretty stable and that is important. The renovations and new fields are awesome.
