Parent: I can't believe the incredible transformation my daughter has made in her first year at Kent Denver. Her 6th grade experience continued her positive academic trajectory, in tandem with developing communication and social-emotional skills. It has been amazing to watch her build her confidence, both inside and outside of the classroom. Socially, she found friends quickly and easily (she did not know many other students), and academically, was encouraged to find her voice and self-advocate for herself. Most importantly, my daughter is happy, the happiest we've seen her, and we can't wait to see how she'll to continue to grow. I highly recommend Kent Denver!... Read 136 reviews

Freshman: CA is an incredible school with incredible people. Their balance of different curriculums through different teachers while still feeling unified is amazing, plus the freedoms that are granted through the different options you have to choose from are great. The teachers and students are great people, and even the grounds crew/custodians are very friendly. They also do an incredible job of keeping the absolutely stunning campus clean and tidy. Overall this is a great school!... Read 51 reviews

Parent: My twin daughters have attended St. Mary's Academy since kindergarten and are now seniors in the high school. I can't say enough great things about the school! The small class sizes, nurturing environment, academics, and feeling of community is unparalleled. All the teachers have been absolutely incredible and know my kids so well. They serve as incredible mentors for the students and truly take an interest in their well-being. My daughters have developed into confident, assertive, curious and kind young adults as a result of their SMA experience. They are very well prepared for college. Unlike many high schools, the SMA high school has very little social drama and the friendships my daughters have made will undoubtedly be lifelong. As a parent, many of my best friends are fellow SMA parents. I wholeheartedly recommend St. Mary's----- I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.... Read 116 reviews

Alum: Was a solid college preparatory experience. VERY dominantly white, limited resources for lgbtq+ peoples; not accepting of trans identities. Solid resources for applying for colleges, counsellors were good at what they do. Teachers were mostly good with some bad apples mixed in to avoid (ask an upperclassman or alumni). Food was good when I first started but got cheaper and worse over time; they are very willing to flake out on that end. VERY high variety of clubs, whatever you want to do they most likely have it, though it's hard to get involved in the larger ones, such as robotics or theater due to large volume of students. Obviously very religious, theology classes are required and integrated into the main curriculum. Occasional mass attendance required. Bear these in mind before applying. Not for everyone, but wealthy white individuals will likely have a smooth experience. Be wary of it's general low diversity. If you care mostly about college prep, very solid pick....

Senior: The teachers at Dsst: Byers High School become close friends/family. I love that my teachers cared for each and one of my classmates, and took the time to know us personally. This type of relationship is great, since it makes it easier to ask for help and better advocate for yourself. To add on, there are many options for classes to take in order for each student to be challenged at a reasonable level. There are many activities and extracurriculars to join, and even opportunities to start your own club! Here at Byers inclusivity and respect are highly encouraged, there are many affinity/cultural clubs open to the whole student body. Overall, I had an amazing experience at Dsst: Byers High School, and it definitely set the bar high when looking for colleges to apply to.... Read 26 reviews

Middle School Student: Ive attended since fourth grade, and Id like to begin discussing the application process. Its difficult to get into this school unless you have a sibling who has attended or is presently attending at Challenge. Obtaining a recommendation letter from your current school's teacher is also an easier option to gain admission to the school. When it comes to clubs, the school is fiercely competitive, particularly in lego robotics, TSA(Technology Student Association), Chess, and Math Club. The school places a lot of emphasis on writing and math. However, I wish the school would have its own sports team because I know a lot of athletes that go to different places to participate in sports. This school welcomes diversity, and kids who join clubs like WEB, PACK players, and another one that I cant recall right now get to lead assemblies that discuss topics that children should be aware of(eg: bullying). Chosen students get to mentor 5th graders with their homework(these kids must have all A's).... Read 17 reviews

Junior: Valor Christian High School is a private school. Valor is a smaller school, with the average class size of approximately 250-300 students. Valor has a very strong music, drama, dance and arts programs within its conservatory. Valor also offers a strong Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) and college preparatory classes. Unlike local high schools, Valor does not allow freshman to take AP classes unless you have an exception (e.g., math or language placement at the AP level). As a Christian school, 3 years of bible classes are required as part of the curriculum. For those seeking to boost their GPA with Honors, AP or Dual-Credit classes, note that there are no such offerings for the required bible classes or freshman seminar class. As part of the tuition, lunches are included in the overall cost, whether or not you eat the mediocre meals provided at school.... Read 211 reviews

Sophomore: DJDSis the most amazing school, home, family, and community. Going to this school has allowed me to flourish in ways that could never be replicated anywhere else. Secularly, the teachers are so invested in my learning and will always find a time to meet with me to go over stuff and genuinely want me to succeed. In regards to the Judaic program, It has allowed me to discover God and spirituality, without ever telling me what I should believe. The classesmerely push you to challenge your own beliefs and think deeply about the subject so every student can benifit.Most importantly, DJDS has given me my second family I can walk down the hallway everyday and be surrounded by people I can count on. DJDS transformed me from a timid 6th grader who was nervous to ask a teacher to fix my grade. To an ambsious high schooler who frequently meets with her teachers, give speeches in front of the school, and advocates for herself. I cannot thank DJDS enough for this.... Read 31 reviews

Senior: English teachers are not great here, assuming you go on the honors science track, the teachers are great. After learning from others and you're preferred learning style, taking classes for the teachers makes your schedule a whole lot more fun, when you get the chance. Boys tennis is amazing! Almost impossible to go wrong in the social studies department. The distinction between honors or ap classes and cp classes also allows for one to basically choose how much work is expected of them. It's worth it to apply to the goes classes and take the ones you feel strong in.... Read 134 reviews

Alum: Excellent school, faculty, and class curriculums. Lots of opportunity for involvement, such as sports, intramurals, music programs, and after school clubs. One of the few middle schools that still has silent reading as a required class, which is great. The faculty is very experienced and helpful with the challenging curriculum. Great facilities, such as large track and field, cafeteria, newly refinished building/classrooms, and always updating.... Read 5 reviews
