Senior: Peak to Peak is a very encouraging environment. As a student, I feel very prepared for college through their college prep courses and taking AP exams, as the teachers are amazing! I feel like I’ve learned so much and grown in so many skills, I really do recommend trying to go here. I think the only downside to this school is the culture of overachieving and the pressure to make grades determine your worth. I can say for certain that many students I know deal with this, even myself. Asides from that, however, everyone is very unique in their own ways, and the teachers are astounding at their work and teaching.... Read 452 reviews

Middle School Student: Best school in Colorado, maybe even the nation, or even the world. The teacher are 2nd to none they focus on the students and and kind and also show Dragon PRIDE and CHAMPS just like the students do. Last year their class of 2020 scored the highst on the CMAS Reading state test. The school is relatively small so all the teachers now the students and their goals. There is great culture here and it is a good school. Everyone is inclusive so no one feels left out. The academic program is also amazing and the teacher have wonderful teaching methods. This school is highly recommended to everyone.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: Twin Peaks Charter Academy is the oldest charter school in the St Vrain Valley School District for good reason! Stellar faculty, staff and leadership provide a welcoming and safe environment where EVERY student that walks through the doors are provided the same opportunity to learn and grow. Smaller than average class sizes allow deeper friendships. The academics are demanding and challenging, stretching and growing kids. As a parent of 3 students, I am blown away daily by the depths of character and dedication of our teachers and leadership, the passion for teaching and leading our kids to be better, and the feeling of community. We enrolled our oldest in Kindergarten, he's now a freshman. We cannot imagine being anywhere else and being so well cared for and valued!!!... Read 29 reviews

Alum: Sad that the ratings are so low. When I went there it was a middle school. 4-6 grades. We had a full orchestra that I was a solo pianist in. So sad that it has gone down that far. Very sad,... Read 1 review

Parent: We absolutely LOVE Aspen Ridge and it honestly is one of the best decisions we have ever made to send our kids to such an amazing school. Our daughter started in the Preschool 3s program nearly 6 years ago and we couldn’t be happier for both her and our son to continue their education there. The teachers, staff and administration always have the kids’ best interest at heart. The teachers and leadership is truly what makes this school so unique. It’s a place that is safe for all to learn and grow, and allows families to be involved and engaged. We love the small class sizes so each student really gets personal attention, the uniforms, unique specials classes and the challenge to SOAR each day. We are proud to be an Owl family!...

Parent: Have 4 kiddos all attending this school and we've appreciated their low teacher-to-student ratio, individualized learning plans, and - more recently - how well they handled our transition to online learning during the pandemic. They really help prepare your kids for life. Not just tests.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: As a kid, being homeschooled is not easy. People ask you whether you if you have any friends and if you have any social skills. This really irked me because, one of my favorite things to do is interact with friends and teammates through school or sports. Unfortunately, because I am home schooled, I don't have this opportunity unless I purpose to pursue it. Apex Homeschool enrichment, allowed me to be able to do just that. It gives homeschoolers a taste of public school, while still allowing me a flexible home school schedule. Apex is a one-day school for homeschooled kids, we have classes, homework, dances, friends, talent shows, and more, but once a week, instead of five days. The rest of the week we work on homework, sports, or anything else in our homeschool curriculum.... Read 2 reviews
