"Great school, nurturing dedicated staff, amazing parent/community involvement, safe & beautiful mountain location. Our son loves it here and his progress on test scores has been amazing - I attribute this to his excellent & caring classroom teachers. Something about the academic environment & challenges motivates him tremendously; he actually looks forward to going to school each day & strives to excel. We don't even have to enforce homework rules - he comes home & does it at his own initiative every day! Have lived in big cities before, we watched many friends spend a fortune sending their kids to private schools since local schools funded by property taxes were so poor -- here, we feel like we really get our money's worth in an excellent public school funded by our tax dollars. There's an unusual lack of ethnic and socio-economic diversity for a public school, seemingly because of the people who choose to live in Coal Creek Canyon. The overwhelming majorty of student families are white and middle-class, but despite this there are no signs of descrimination or exclusivity - there's also no gang or drug culture. Small school means limited extracurricular activities, however."

"excellent, dedicated teachers and principal; can't understand the one negative review except that it is from a parent with a personal grudge. This school is very highly focused on the subjects mentioned and the PTSA is very active with more extracurricular activities than in previous years"

"Very good quality school, excellent teachers, very small class size, very safe environment, very involved community. Beautiful, clean environment - surrounded by mountains and horse properties high above the Denver smog. Everyone knows everyone. The spring talent show packs the gym to overflowing every year, and almost every kid tries out for the talent show. Downside - small school, so the extracurricular activities are not as diverse."

"Coal Creek Canyon is an outstanding school where the children feel safe, loved and respected. There have been many changes in teaching/admin staff over the 7+ years we have been involved with the school but a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn has always been a constant here. The school district itself here has gone through many changes over these years making the curriculum inconsistent but the staff has adapted and is top notch."
