Rangeview High School Reviews

This school is very good, but it really needs to re-evaluate some of its teachers

Rangeview High School may have wonderful teachers, but it means nothing if the children are taken out of classes that actually work for them. The school shuffles around students that have been there for several years out of good classes; and gives these now open spots to transfer students who should not get top priority. After all, isn't it the students who go and choose what classes they would like for the following year. My daughter was not only moved out of a class that she was actually learning in once, but twice. I'd like to see some changes to Rangeview before I send any of my children back there.

Rangview High School is a great school. my daughter loves this school. She recently moved from eagelcrest where she disliked the school. Here in rangview she has made so many more friends and seems to enjoy it more. Im really proud of her. and I only want the best for my daughter.

I am finally a Senior and apart of the '08 class! Sadly, I do not attend Rangeview anymore, but I have attended during my Sophomore and Junior year. I'm proud to say that Rangeview High School is the best high school within the APS district, regardless of not achieving academically great like Douglas County. Academics is not enough to fulfill a student's wants and needs, the social environment does and I have to honestly say that Rangeview rocks with social environment. If social environment is good, then students can achieve better academically. However, life is what a student makes it.

Academic programs are well set so that students that are below average, average, and above average are able to find a class that meets their needs. Rangeview students are held to a higher standard than other schools in Aurora. To receive and 'A', a Rangeview student needs a 93% or higher, while other schools only need a 90% or higher. I spread myself out in the activities that I participate in. I am a manager for the Girls Swim Team, Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Treasurer of the DECA Club, and the National Honor Society. Rangeview has nearly 100 different clubs and activities, and if there isn't a club that you want, you can always create one.(With school approval) Overall I believe that Rangeview is a school in which I would recommend to anyone and I am proud to be a Rangeview Raider. Also, the staff is for the Students

My son started at Rangeview this year. It seems to be great for him. At Columbia he was getting C's and D's and now he's getting A's and B's. I believe the Teachers do all they can to help the kids understand what they are to be learning.

The quality of academics at rangeview is low. The school has lowered its expectations do to the inability of the incoming students to achieve average grades. The extracurricular activities are administered very poorly, particularly the sports. As far as I know there is only minimum parent involvement.

Right now I attend this school, I'm a freshmen before I started school I was frightened to go but after a couple weeks went by I feel more better now. The new semester started and I never heard as many kids talk about their grades before, I think it's because they relized that they to straighten up to get better grades. I honestly didn't do that good from the last E grades but now I'm more focused then ever.

Rangeview High School is an excellent school to attend. I love that school and give it great stats as far as APS schools go. I wouldn't attend anywhere else. The Performing Arts Department is awesome. Ms. McGuire has been there ever since it opened 22 years ago, and she is a very great instructor, and she's my inspiration to even attend school on a normal basis. - Class of 2007!

Rangeview High School is an excellent high school! (That is in terms of academics). 50% of Rangeview students care about their education and pay attention in class, while the other 50% is non caring about their education. Rangeview is the only APS high school that I would ever step foot into. It is newer and it feels safer then the older schools. Rangeview's teachers are strict and do not mess around, but as for the principal, he did not keep in contact much with the parents. I and many other people would say that Rangeview does not deserve to be apart of the uncaring Aurora Public Schools. It deserves a better district with caring people and education.
