MESA is one of the best schools that ive been to. I live in California and regret moving school because it was such a wonderful school

My son has been in this school for 2 years and that is 2 years too many. Be very careful in selecting this school. Teachers do not have control of their classroom and the rest of the administration is just as worse. We have pulled our child from this school because of too many gang or gang wannabe people made him feel very unsafe

My son attends this school and we are VERY happy with MESA! He was always a quiet child when he attended the Charter School in Brighton. He struggled with getting good grades but his testing scores were always great. ??? Now that he attends MESA, he has come out of his shell and is getting great grades AND test scores. He is more social and he loves this school. The teachers really see each student as an individual and if the child is behind or ahead, they accomodate. My younger son BEGS to attend MESA. When he hits jr high, he will be going! I am not overall happy with Mapleton District- But this school and the students there should be put on a pedistal. I also must add that the ethnicity % is a perfect mix. When the time comes for college, my son will be ready. Kudos to MESA!!

My son is 'twice exceptional' and this school has made the difference between being 'left behind' and becoming a valuable player in today's society. MESA lives up to the inspirational quote below. 'Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming.' -- Goethe

This school is great. the teachers help you with work if you dont get it. academic support is what helped me pass seventh grade. if you want to be sure that your child is being challenged enroll them here.

This was the first school in the entire state of Colorado to have all of its seniors graduate and get accepted to a four year college. A huge feat in this day and age, especially in the Denver Metro area.

Excellent. This school not only teaches what students need to learn (in a funn way) but they also teach students what they need to know to stand up and advocate for themselves.
