The kids are interested and involved with school academics and activites and the parent support is superb. A great school in my opinion.”

Our school ceberates the diversity that our neighborhood reflects, and offers amazing programs to help students of all levels grow and succeed.

“My daughter is in Kindergarten and Teller is definitely a 'different' school than what we're used to. She went to a really great preschool in Castle Rock, CO and in most schools Kindergarten is either half days or every other day. Well Teller kindergarten is like every other grade. A lot of school work and I think they need a little more play/down time at this age. My daughter came home with a project that I had to look up on the internet b/c not even I knew what it was. It is a good school, but I think we are moving to a school back in Castle Rock for first grade and on.”

“I personally think Teller elementary is an 'OK' school, but if your child has learning disabilities, the administration procrastinates, loses paperwork, and basically makes you feel that it's your fault. If your child doesn't fit in their 'cookie cutter views', then look out because you're in for one hard time!”

“Teller is a great Congress Park neighborhood school. Is it a magnet school? No. Is is an Expeditionary learning school? No. Teller is a school like the one you went to as a kid - unpretentious, parent-involved, kid-friendly...frankly normal! One place to think...Teller represents its' community well - economically and with diversity.”
