    "I love quest I've gone here since I was in second grade and now I'm in sixth. Quest is my pace and that is advanced. If I ever had to switch schools that would only be in high school. My parents love my school and so do I so go QUEST!!!!!"

    "We felt very blessed to have our daughter attend quest from her 5th through 8th grade years. The Aurora Public School district has such poor middle schools so we were so relieved to get her in Quest for those important years. My daughter was doing 7th grade math that I had done in college! She learned everything about technology and computers. The only think I would say was lacking was Geography (something very important in my day). She couldn't tell me the states and capitals, etc. Luckily this is something I can easily teach her myself. Sadly my son has not tested gifted so we haven't been able to get him in Quest and are having to try one of the "regular" APS middle schools. We hope for the best."

    "Yes, this school is better than many in Aurora but I felt they spent an inordinate amount of time teaching to the CSAP test. Of course their scores are high when the students spend a great deal of time "practicing" for the test! This preparation ensures high scores but takes away from learning. There are some good teachers at this school but with close to 40 kids in my son's middle school math class, a lot of time is spent on "classroom management" and not as much time is spent on learning. There were many group projects in most classes and the good kids were almost always paired up with the troublemakers. Sure, it's a great life lesson on conflict resolution (or not, since some kids truly didn't care) but these are formative years for education. I was not willing to let my kid babysit at the expense of his education. He attends an online school now and is thriving. I love the concept of Quest but they suffer from lack of funding as most schools do. Too many students per class, too much emphasis on the CSAP, and too much focus on the kids who need discipline while the good kids often slip through the cracks because they don't demand immediate and constant attention."

    "It's great to have my kid at Quest, where so many parents are actively involved and supportive. Of course there might be a bad apple (apparently there is, although I haven't seen it myself) but I can say that I have found the parents I have met take responsibility for their kids and their education, and that is just one of the many absolutely wonderful things about the school."

    "I think the school speaks for itself! Look at the numbers. Tour the facility. Meet the parents. Meet the teachers. If you can't feel the positive vibe in person.. if you can't see the attitudes that are obvious in the children's demeanor.. then you must be having a bad day! We just love it!"
