    "Our child has been at High Peaks for three years. I was drawn to the idea of core knowledge learning and impressed by how the staff seemed to work together. However it has not been a good fit for us. The community is very competitive and elite. I feel like it is too rigid and there isn't room for discovery. My child is very anxious about school and always worries about getting things "wrong". I can only concur that this has been reinforced at school because we do not function that way at home. The model at HP is 2 weeks on a particular subject and the assessment. So there is constantly a push to get the information and then test - test -test. It's too much. There is warmth and happiness missing at that school, unfortunately."

    "High Peaks just keeps getting better and better. The staff is focused on making sure that students feel good about school and become lifelong learners. There are many extracurricular offerings for students, teachers are always looking for how to improve, and the school community seems very positive. What a gem right here in Boulder!"

    "I can't say enough good words about High Peaks. If you are serious about your children's education, that's the school for them. It provides very solid elementary school foundation that eases the transition to middle and ultimately to high school. The curriculum is very engaging and rigorous (not too much though) for the elementary school level. The teaching staff for the most part (with a few exceptions) is excellent. The TAG program is very good too. The social environment is very welcoming. I have my second child at High Peaks and it is just getting better and better. It is one of the best elementary schools in Boulder."

    "Three of my children attend High Peaks and we absolutely LOVE it! We have had nothing but great experiences with all of the teachers and staff. Even though High Peaks has great scores and has won numerous awards, they are continually looking for ways to improve. Our children feel completely safe, cared for, nurtured and know that they can ask for help (and get it) from any staff member at any time. The staff is absolutely concerned with children's emotional, social and educational well being. The staff has been very proactive and has been successful in making sure that bullying does not become an issue at school. The Administration's door is always open. The Principal, Lora de la Cruz, has demonstrated that she seeks opinions from parents and staff before making decisions. Even though it might not be the most popular decision, she makes decisions based on what is best for ALL of the children of High Peaks. From the office staff, to the teachers, to the parents, this is the most welcoming school my children have ever attended."
