Grant Ranch K-8 School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-11-02 “I agree with the last two comments. The elementary section is 'ok' but the middle school is awful. My suggestion as a parent of a former student is to get out of this school by the 4th grade and attend the excellent jeffco or littleton schools in the area (especially if your child is gifted!)Mr. Kullhem needs to come back...current administration needs to leave and the middle school teachers (pretty much all of them) need to be reassigned or at least get some training on how to teach!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-09-10 “I pulled my children from this school. I agree with many of the previous comments if the teachers, princple seems to like your child or you, the sky is the limit. Everyone else to bad. They seem to lack a curriculum worth talking about. Yes if your child is struggling you are on your own and on the other end if you have a highly gifted childe oh well. Nice looking school, lots of parent involment, if you are a parent that works and can't be as involved your child pays. Definitely not the best school available in the area!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-09-06 “The elementary part of the school is good, but the middle part is bad. If a teacher doesn't like the child or the parent they treat them unfair. My child was there and a certain teacher did not like her, so if she didn't do the homework to the teachers satisfaction my child had to stay in for lunch, call me, redo the homework for no credit, and if it happened more than 3 times she was suspended from school. I feel that if the child works on the homework they should at least get the credit and if they didn't they get an 'F', not suspension.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-05 “i was a student for 3 years! it was the best school I've ever been to! all the teachers are very nice! the kids are respectable....i love that school and you will to” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-01-04 “I'm not impressed by this school at all! The class rooms are way over packed. The lunch menu is not fit for a K9.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-12-10 “Great teachers, great location, weak electives for 6-8 grades.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-12-09 “This school has such great potential but really misses the mark.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-11-04 “Grant Ranch School is more involved in parent support than anything else. Disapline is done on a per child basis rather than the same rules apply to each child. If the principal likes the parent, or is afraid of the parent, the child can do whatever they choose. Test scores are not as good as they could be because teachers are told to teach to the child that is on the edge of a better score. They ones that have fallen between the cracks are forgotten and those that are way above the mark are left on their own.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-11-03 “The other schools in the area have much higher test scores and academic expectations are much higher... Although there is a great deal of parental involvement, the staff/administration does not have a excellent curriculum in place.... administrative leadership is poor and the principal is often not in the building (at meetings)... you are better going off to the Littleton or Jefferson County school or a private option” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-25 “This has been one of the best DPS schools that I have ever knowen, in all my years growing up in the school district, this hss to be the far most excellent school that I have encountered. I love this school and their staff. When you have questions they are very prompt on getting the answer. Then there is the parents.... I have noticed that parents are involed in their childrens lives........ and that is so wonderful, also the school is very good on having some sort of diffrent activitys to do each week and month after month. Keep up the great work Grant Ranch, staff.”
