I love how there is such a wide variety of classes available to other students and me. Many teachers reach out and make connections with their students, which can be hard sometimes considering the amount of students they have. BVSD highly values education, but it's also considerate in many circumstances. The environment is perfect for learning, and the views can't be beat!
Boulder Valley School District has a diverse, close-knit community. Many of the schools excel in different areas. I have had teachers who have helped me and made a profound impact on my life and my passions. The school buildings are spacious and clean. They have new equipment and materials and often have beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains. Schools offer a variety of extra curriculars that can appeal to everyone. The district itself is communicative, responsive, and has the best interest of students and their families at heart. All in all, BVSD has provided a safe, positive learning environment for me since my childhood and has helped prepared me for college and for growing into adulthood.
I liked my school district. The way they went about things regarding academic courses was good, I feel like with my school in particular, Peak to Peak Charter School, they went a bit above and beyond in educating us just a little bit more than standard curriculum. Definitely prepared me for college, my school had courses tailored specifically to the college preparation side. The teachers were (most of the time) fantastic. I had plenty of memorable teachers who were very experienced in their field, and some teachers, such as the physics teacher were actively contributing to their field. There were a couple of teachers that were not so great though. They wouldn’t accommodate to those of us (such as myself) with learning disabilities, often skimming over content that was critical knowledge for the tests. Their teaching methods were inneffective and they were hesitant to listen to any feedback. Those teachers were few and far between though. Diversity was also accomidated in my district.
