Cherry Creek Charter Academy Reviews

Cherry Creek Academy is an outstanding school. I love the Core Knowledge curriculum providing my child with a top-notch K-8 education that will prepare her well for high school and beyond. I am proud that my child attends Cherry Creek Academy.

It was a great school for my kids who attended 1995-2004. Core knowledge curriculum and some of the finest teachers and administrators ever

Our family has attended CCA for the past 7 years now. We have 3 children who have attended this school and just love it. Our oldest is in High School and is thriving due to the great curriculm and discipline received at CCA. If you do what you are suppose to you will find your child a year or even two years ahead of thier peers. It's amazing to hear the numerous topics your children can speak intelligently about. The parent involvement is awesome. You feel as if you are a part of a real community. There are many great families working together for one purpose. Anyone who talks negatively about CCA jus missed the point, or obvoiusly it was just not a good fit! This school rocks! Just take a tour and see the diffference from the other CCSD schools.

CCA has been a wonderful alternative school for our family. Two of our three children have graduated from CCA - one average and one with special needs. CCA challenged and accomodated both of them beautifully. The teachers and staff are caring, supportive people, and so are the majority of families and students at CCA. Both of my graduated kids still socialize with CCA friends. At this school, the students are respectful, supervised, disciplined, and will not be exposed to offers of drugs, alcohol and sex that you get at the bigger district schools. Sure CCA is not perfect but we have cherished our experience at this school.

We have 3 children at CCA. They are very different from each other yet the CCA core knowledge curriculum and the excellent teaching staff have helped each be successful. The communication and responsiveness from the teachers is wonderful! Your experience at CCA is what you make of it so as an involved parent I feel very connected to the school and enjoy the ability to make a small difference.

CCA is a great school with wonderful students, teachers, and parents. We have a principal who is a strong leader with a positive vision for the future of our school. Parents are encouraged to be an active part of the school and the school environment is very positive. It's a special place to teach and a super place to learn.

Don't let the previous posting put you off. CCA is a great place for parents who want a traditional education for their child. We have been at the school for six years and have always found it to be an open, genial place. No school is perfect, and CCA is definitely better than most. I wouldn't let one bitter person's opinion taint my opinion of the entire school. Go take the tour for yourself. I think you will be pleased with what you see.

The parking at this school is inadequate and it is really a church renovated to be a school. It is not a neighborhood school with most of the children coming from a long way away. This is important to note when considering this school.

This is not a school for gifted and talented or kids with learning disabilites. It is not a place to put kids with behavior problems. CCA is a great school for the child who'll go to college and has parents who want to work with their child to be the best that they can be. My oldest son was lost until he went to CCA and now does very well at CU-Boulder.

the teachers are very strict and we have to wear uniforms. The school is very old and the middle school is dark and depresing. we are a small school but we are strong. There are not very many good extra crelicular activities but their are some and we have tutaring on mondays and wendsday which helps alot.

We came over from Belleview, which was a great school, but within 2 weeks of being at CCA we could noticed the difference in the curriculum and the effect that a more disciplined environment has on a child. This school is GREAT!

We're so grateful to have this school as an alternative for our family. The teachers truly care, and we are impressed by the things our kids have learned. There is perhaps too much drilling and busy-work, and we've had some problems with teasing, but overall we are glad to send our kids here.
