“Sierra does well in academics due to two factors: Parent Involvement and Location. The PTA organization has more members than any other school in the entire district. This provides them with significant funding and unparalleled momentum benefiting the students on many levels. I recently moved to the area primarily to enroll my two children in Sierra. The neighborhoods are established middle to upper-middle class and rentals and foreclosures are few and far between relative to the Denver metro area.”

“This school gets great scores on the standardized tests because they teach to the test. The principal seems really focused on test scores and image. The teachers are great, though they don't seem that they are allowed to deviate from the 'script.' Problem solving, critical thinking, and integrated learning are lacking. We are drowning in worksheets and busy work. In defense of Sierra, I don't think its much different than the rest of Jefferson County. Our kids are learning to do multiple choice and regurgitate information better than any other kids I know...too bad that is not what life is about.”

“The love the teachers have for educating the kids really show. Our boys have been here for three years now. They both have improoved in reading and math. When my two boys come home and say school was great, that makes everything alright.”

“My Daughter went from 1996-2003. We felt the school was great overall. Sierra did get a new pricipal the last year. And it looks like he will continue on the great path they started on.”
