We moved to Aurora for the school. The IEP team have been nothing but phenomenal. The teachers implement all necessary accommodations and go above and beyond to make sure students have what they need. The assistant principal and principal have responded to every request and concerns I’ve had within hours of me sending an email. My daughter loved this school and is learning core requirements and other necessary materials for third grade.

Except for the fact that schools are 'incentified' for their test scores- therefore they "teach to test"- the education my 2 children received is pretty much as good as anywhere. My 'average' score is more based on their 'total experience'. Unless you live in a $1MM culdesac house, your child will be viewed as an 'outsider' or 'outcast' by the rich, spoiled, kids that are flat out mean to new kids. Sounds like a sob-story, but trust me. If you choose to go to Aurora schools, you'll find out.

I don't understand how they get the ratio of 18 students per teacher. My child has NEVER been in a class with less than 26 students, which, in my opinion is too many.

not good at all, when i went there 3 years ago, i was struggling really hard in all subjects, i then had to go to tutoring it was so hard. i was bullied by everybody in the school, i only had 1 friend. this school is very hard i really struggled. the teachers were very mean and strict. the kids are very rude and mean. Aurora has a very bad school system. and only the rich kids get treated well. the remainder get harassed. this school was an absolute nightmare for me. ---Submitted by a student.
