To me, the school is definitely below average. There are some pros, but many cons. One of the cons is that they are always desperate for parents money, almost everything in this school cost money and is very expensive, and the worst part is they barely use that money to make actual good changes to the school. Another con is bullying, this is mostly from the high school students, and they rarely even get into trouble. Not only are some students bullies but they are also very violent, the sad part is staff are never paying attention to students behavior (besides in class of course). I am also noticing that they are teaching Islamic rules that are either false, or over exaggerated, and I hate that. They also force middle school students to wear hijab all the time, even for breaks. And the con that I hate the most is how much work they give us, EVEN TO KIDS WHO NEED SPECIAL EDUCATION, as a student myself who is high functioning, I can barely finish my homework on time and every day after school I come home with anxiety and depression. This school clearly does not care about mental health. And the only pros are just that some teachers are nice and help you learn a lot, and only some kids act like proper muslims and are nice. So I definitely would not recommend this school.

The school is okay. There re some good teachers that try their best to discipline their students fairly. But my father has been complaining about the amount of homework that I get because this huge amount of homework is stressful and can create depression in students. Bullying is a big problem at this school but sometimes it can get fixed. I have seen the detention list and it includes cleaning the whole cafeteria. It literally has more than 10 steps on it and one of them says something about cleaning the edges and corners of the walls of the cafeteria and the stairs for all 3 floors of the school. Also, you have to pay a lot for your student and for extracurricular activities. The school has not found the good part of social media like Discord, Facebook, etc. But there are also some nice teachers who don't give so much homework and actually help their students, and the principal tries his best to help the school.

We have been at this school for close to 5 years now. Both kids have been successful in their curriculum and have demonstrated an increasing level of confidence both in their personality and their approach to school work/academics. The school is very well managed with an experienced staff that's dedicated, passionate with a caring attitude. I've seen administrators spend hours every weekend up keeping the school and expanding it to the newly created high school, a true community feel for parents, children and staff.The IT platforms/Software in use are improving but remain desperate between Gradelink, Google classroom, iReady, Wonders, sheet handouts...etc. There needs to be a clear and uniform way to track assignments between all classes and teachers. Homework load is balanced, clubs and after school activities have a good diversity between Tae Kwon Do, Soccer, Baking, Art...etcExcellent school overall, hope to see them grow and renovate the elementary/middle school facilities more.

Coming to CVA's high school was the best decision I made. My parents gave me the choice to decide where I want to go and I am very happy with my decision. Not only am I challenged, but I have developed solid relationships with really cool friends. Yes, people complain about the homework load but the truth is that we are really challenged and the teachers care about making sure we succeed. The school's administration are friendly and always willing to help and support. I really appreciate the guidance we get to prepare for college and the SAT and AP courses. I feel safe, protected and cared for at Crescent View Academy.

it's fine. I don't really like the bullying and the multitask for the students.

CVA has come a long way since its inception. Through the inception of the school in 1993, the focus was on a good environment for the children of the community and academics garnering less attention. The school was only through 8th grade and high school was just a dream. However for almost a decade now, with a stable excellent principal, administration, teachers and staff; academics are on par with top performing schools in the state. Former students are graduating at the top of their high school classes and are garnering scholarships and pre-acceptance to top schools in the state like Colorado School of Mines as well as nationwide. Attendance is at an all time high, and the class of 2022 will be the first CVA High School graduated from the newly purchased High School building on campus. We thank Allah for His blessing and favors and ask that he allow the excellence in this institution to continue for the sake of our children and our future.

It's being run like a business, rather than a school. It's all about the money, and not about the students' success.

Wouldn't recommend- there's a lot of things happening in this school that are somehow being nu-noticed.

No way, am I going to allow my child to go to this school. Poor teaching, but worse administrative leadership. You'd be bettter off sending your kids to Cherry Creek School District.

By far, the BEST school my children have attended. Excellent curriculum, wonderful teachers and staff members, and a really close knit community within the school. We could not have asked for anything better in CO for my children. I would not have changed anything about this school should I have been asked to.

Administration is fake, they are just in it for money. My son has to go back one year. Poor education, Teachers are making minimum. Education level is low.Don't trust positive comments it is principal work to offset negative comments.

My child had been at CVA for 4 years now. Overall all, I am extremely happy and would not consider any other school. Parent teacher communication has greatly improved since CVA became full-time private school.

I am a new student at CVA in the middle school. Transferring to CVA is one of the best decisions I made with my family. The teachers are very supportive. The students are very welcoming. The Islamic atmosphere is spiritually rewarding. I have to much to learn about my religion and culture and I feel blessed.

Bed teachers, management, school board. Don't care about student's education. Organization is after money. Nobody controls them. All positive feedbacks are done by inside people, to make you believe in this school.

CVA has given my family a home away from home. The entire staff, administration and community are warm, welcoming and loving. In Colorado, it's hard to find a Muslim organization that is as supportive as CVA.

I became a parent at Crescent View Academy back in 2007, 8 years later, I have three children here, and I consider myself a lucky father, because my kids are in the best place they can ever be. The teachers are good with communication, all my kids progress is reported continuously, and finally the principal updated us of our kids test result in the Terra Nova. Besides the academics are excellent, this school is very safe. Great manner teachings and the Sunnah is really taught here. Very clean school, very nurturing, and can’t ask for a school better than this. May Allah bless all those who are making it a great place?
