I had just moved to Colorado this past year and being the new kid in a new state was intimidating but as soon as I had spent a couple days at LP, I immediately felt integrated and involved in the community. The staff is so genuine, especially within their welcoming and were very helpful resources when fixing all the technical things regarding transferring schools. Although the teachers do a wonderful job introducing you to the school, the students are truly the ones who have made a significant impact on me. I have never met such a more welcoming group of students that are genuinely happy to be in a place of education. On the first day, I was greeted by numerous teens asking if I needed somewhere to sit for lunch. Without hesitance people greet you in the hallways through passing period and flash a smile throughout class. I think the staff and the students also have such a intertwining connection that it really makes the school community seem like a family.
Lewis Palmer was not a bad school district to attend in the slightest. The elementary schools and middle school stand out the most. I went to Kilmer elementary and loved all the teachers, the ambiance, the clubs etc. My high school experience unfortunately wasn't as great, however that wasn't directly related to the school itself. There is some great staff there and clubs and overall I wouldn't consider it a poor experience.
The school did not do a very good job of trying to facilitate relationships. Also, the Physical Education Progrma needed work. PE teachers rather than aiding in students forming relationships and encouraging them in sports, they were detached and were trying to just get through the day. I was bullied in one of my PE classes and the teacher did nothing about it despite me pleading with him. The academics of the school were alright. The Pre-Calculus teacher I had Mrs. Thirkell won multiple awards and she always made a note to help out student in her own time, but she went very quickly through the material and I am a slower learner. The school because they are a public highschool seems to leave students behind and fails to accommodate people that learn differently. If you are a very academic person that is in their band program you would thrive, I am neither, so I was a lucky to make it out with a 3.5 GPA.
