My daughter went in around the 80th percentile for standardized tests and she's now scoring in the 99th compared to other Colorado kids. Life gets tough for kids this age, but if they work hard and pay attention, then can utilize everything this school has to offer. Also, their music department and theatre department are awesome.

I have been blown away by the excitement my child has for all of her classes and what she is learning. The teachers are amazing often going above and beyond. They push her academically and the school has opportunities for her creativity with a great theatre program and arts electives.
