We have been at this school for over 5 years (3 kids total), and we love it. The academics are great, the teachers are all amazing and go above and beyond for the kids, even difficult ones. We have absolutely no complaints. We have not seen bullying, although my daughter says that there is a kid or two that are mean to other kids. I think every school has a kid like this, but I have not heard of any serious bullying. There are plenty of extracurriculars as well. We have moved from the neighborhood but commute to this school about 20 minutes each way now. I think it says it all.

I wouldn’t want my kids anywhere else. The administration, teachers, and students are all amazing. I’m so grateful my children attend this school and are able to benefit from it. They enjoy school and are enthusiastic to head out the door each day. Best decision we ever made!

By far one of the best elementary schools in Fort Collins. They go above and beyond to ensure your child has an amazing experience. Could not ask for better teachers or staff. Looking forward to the next level of schooling and very ready for it thanks to Zach.

We are new to the neighborhood and my 3rd grader and kindergartner were worried about leaving their old school. Within the first few days we all fell in love with the school and the education they are getting Zach is 100% better than what we got in Greeley. I recommend Zach to anyone especially the kindergarten teacher Mrs.Cey. I am so happy we have another four years at the school.

Zach was an amazing school! They had a wonderful GT program for my child and the principal there is leading the community well. All of the teachers were kind, understanding, and helpful, and the volunteering program allowed me to be thoroughly involved. I know that we made the correct decision and if you're looking at schools, by all means, stop here! It's truly a privilege to attend.

We school of choiced into Zach and it has been well worth the drive every day. The teachers challenge the students academically but I found they also know how to slow down when my child struggled. Once she regained her confidence and capabilities, they challenged her again. The teachers are quite creative in actively involving the students in learning so they "live" the knowledge instead of just listening or reading. They make learning fun for the whole child!! The parental involvement can at times be overwhelming but in a good way. If the school is open, you will see multiple parents supporting differentiated student groups, helping in work rooms cutting and pasting or running parent supported programs like book bowl. Bottom line - your child will thrive at Zach.
