Current Resident: I love Gleneagle. We have wonderful neighbors, but it's big enough where we feel like we can go and meet new people all the time. I do feel safe in this neighborhood, like I can walk my dogs and not feel like I have to carry something to protect myself. I did attend my first few high school years at DCC and that was the worst school I have ever been to.... Read 11 reviews

Niche User: There has never been any big crimes in this area. People can walk around or go to the gas station at night without being scared of being kidnapped or murdered. There are never break-ins, kidnappings, drug busts, or murders in my area. When you're driving, it's very likely you'll see a police car. But the only time you see their lights on is for pulling someone over. There's little crime so the response time is fast.... Read 32 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived in Palmer Lake my entire life and I love it. The view is amazing and so are the houses. There aren't many big, fancy, modern houses, though there are some, but instead there are average sized modern houses. The view is of the Rocky Mountains and there are great schools in the area....

Parent: Rochambeau follows the French curriculum, most classes are taught in French, but it is more an international school with IB options. Our daughters have had classmates from endless countries (around 70 represented). It prepares our children to live with others that have different cultures, languages, experiences, and religions ... in other words, it prepares them for their multicultural future. Studying at Rochambeau can be challenging at times, because of the high academic level of the French system, but this high amount of work will also depend on the (many) options that are offered. All of this is also balanced by a great School's sports teams program which is a fantastic experience for our children. Lastly, my husband studied there in high school in the early 90s and he still has many friends that he still sees regularly. So your children will create lifetime bonds with an international community.... Read 25 reviews

Current Resident: I have called monument home for over 15 years. It is a small but wonderful community of people. Because it is small however there are limited options when it comes to shopping/work but since Colorado Springs is so close many simply choose to commute.

Current Resident: If you love Colorado and want to live here, Colorado Springs (COS) is an excellent place to find a great price without compromising quality. Every town has its pros and cons. Compared to other cities, COS is one of the best places to live! The view of Pike's Peak right outside our windows never gets old! We have very quick access to the mountains, including a back route to the resorts along I-70 and the San Juan mountains. An endless list of unique, world-class places to explore and recreate. Denver is a quick drive. Although work opportunities are plentiful here, many people commute for work because the cost of living in Denver is high. The airport is a gem! We usually arrive within the hour of take-off time and get right in without a line or a TSA wait. There are some great schools. Low cost of living Property taxes are LOW! Our HOA fees are low and we never have any negative issues. We have the best neighbors than anywhere we've lived! etc...... Read 2,400 reviews

Nearby Resident: Manitou Springs is a small but popular town. The town gives access to free clean drinking water, there are seven mineral springs that bring up water for people to drink. I have seen people even bring empty jugs of water to fill up in these springs. The town also has a river along side of it where people can walk right next to the river. Many festivals happen in manitou like the annual coffin race. manitou is also very family friendly, the town has a “penny arcade” with tons of old school arcade games that are mostly just a quarter each to play. There are a lot of ice cream shops and a really good pizza shop called, Hell’s Kitchen, ironically across the street from a shop called, Heaven’s Juice Bar. When the sun goes down, the town is still alive, there are quite a few bars in this town that are oddly enough not really noticeable during the day. At the edge of the town is a hiking path called, The Incline, that has 2,744 steps to climb with 2,000 foot increase in elevation.... Read 12 reviews

Current Resident: We have lived here for a year and a half. We have a small child and the neighborhood is very family friendly. We live in Claremont Ranch and there is no HOA, which is a plus to us. The neighborhood still looks pretty good. There is some theft crime, but that is anywhere you go nowadays. The park nearby is small, but good for our uses. Probably not for older kids. Close to King Soopers and really anything one might need. Good view of Pikes Peak in most of the neighborhood. My only beef is that the houses are too close together. I basically see houses out of every window in my house. However I realize this is common here. I'm from Texas and lived in a small town where the houses are a little more spread out. That also seems all over the Springs. Not necessarily Cimarron Hills.... Read 39 reviews

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews

Senior: I have been a student here since Lower School (elementary school) and I am currently a Senior. The opportunities provided in education, art, music, athletics, community, leadership, research, and more are simply incredible. Flint Hill has allowed me to join several clubs and become a leader of multiple. I am in the Spanish Honor Society, International Thespian Society, Major Minors A Capella group, and more. I have been given this amazing opportunity through their spectacular financial aid resources. If I could rate the school any higher, I would give it a 100,000/5!... Read 90 reviews
