I have two children who attend this school. I am highly disapointed all around. I actually pulled my child from 1/2 day k. Three hours, three different teachers...all because the majority of kids could not speak english. She had no friends and she would come home speaking spanish! She was not learning how to read at all. She is a bright social girl and taking her to this school was like a trainwreck! All I can say is I think it is sad that tax payers in the area are paying high taxes for what? To teach children how to speak english and to let the english speaking ones fall to the wayside?! My children will definitely be attending a different school next year!
Hi im a student at Achieve Academy and I would like to say that our school is not a bad school it is actually one of the bestest school in all of Colorado. Parents, you shouldnt speak badly about the school if you don't come to the school. Sure we may have some drama but what school doesn't? Also we may not be able to change clothing for gym but that doesnt matter, what matters is the education the school gives your children. By the way we have a vice principle also not just a principle..This is a very good school..!
Putting all those students in that small facility was a huge mistake! I am very disapointed in this district! There is not enough room provided for all the complaints I have for this school! Talk about un organized the first day of school was a mess and the middle school students are treated as if they are in day care!! The Pe class is a joke how can you expect middle school students not to change while in pe?? I feel bad every day dropping my child off and now currently looking at other schools!!!!
I am very unhappy with this school. There were very limited resources so the music/p.e. was limited and spread to thin for the 2 schools sharing 1 building. As of next year there will not even be a library at this school. The parent involvement was nonexistent. There is only 1 principal and no vice, so it is had to get a meeting with someone in charge. There was never anyone at the 2 crosswalks, and only 2 adults max available at lunch time for all students outside in grades K-5. Don't send your kids here!!!
