“I love this school. I think we have great leadership and wonderful teachers. I think the atmosphere is good for learning and each child is trully treasured. They have adopted school wide curriculum for Math, writing and reading which makes the transition between teachers much easier on students.”

“The best that a secular, public school can possibly be- and this is meant to be in a positive way. The students love and respect Chris Smith, who is a world class principal and is certainly is probably why this school has the highest retention rate among its staff.”

“I have been very happy with the school in general. The parent group called 'PIE' is not very welcoming to newcomers. The same people seem to be in charge each year and they don't do much to encourage changes. I know a lot of Moms who said they would more active if it wasn't that way.”

“I have three children in this school. This is a wonderful school. The teachers are the best I have come to know. This has been the best school my children have had the privelage to attend. The teachers and staff are outgoing and each interaction I have with them has been wonderful. Two of my children have ADHD and the teachers have been wonderful and patient with them. I would recommend this school to anyone who has children in the K through 6 grade.”

“The principal has some great ideas and seems wonderful. I have two children there though and both of their teachers leave a lot to be desired. The school seems pretty good as a whole.”

“I have to take the time to bring to the attention of the school what a wonderful teacher Mrs.Riggin is. She is my son's 4th grade teacher. My son has ADHD and he has been extrememly blessed to have her as his teacher. Pat has a son of her own in which she has raised with this disability and it prooves through her teaching that she must also be a wonderful mom. She goes above and beyond for my son James and I have to say I would not have my son attend any other school. The principal Chris is also so personable and caring that he takes the time to notice each child and parent as they grace the floors of the little community school. Every experience I have had with Sand Creek has been a memorable and enjoyable one. Being a single mom that is very important to me!”

“We moved from the UK to Denver over five years ago. Many things are different in the schooling system than I was used to but I always find the staff very friendly, attentive, dedicated and productive. The facilites are extremely modern and of a good quality. All three of my children have attended Sand Creek and are definately happy, healthy, cared for and encouraged under the faculty's tutilage.”
