My kids have enjoyed this school in spite of the opportunity for high school athletics not being an option yet. My kids were here for middle, and currently high school, and they love the teachers and classes available. Even when considering switching to the public high school due to larger social crowd and convenience of sports, my student still chooses to stay at CIVICA because her friend group is enough and the teachers and environment are something she enjoys. She is able to partner with the public high school for sports, but hopefully enough student- athletes will attend CIVICA one day so they can have their own teams. Thank you CIVICA Colorado for hiring good teachers and staff that make my kids want to attend this school!

Civica is an amazing one of a kind school. The staff and principal work hard to promote good citizenship in their students. The teachers and students value respect, hard work, kindness and honoring our country and its veterans. It is so fun to walk the halls and see the interactions between the students and their teachers and principal. It is very obvious that they care for and respect each other. The students display excellent behavior in the halls and at lunch time. When visiting the classrooms, students seem very engaged and excited about learning. The teachers appear to love their jobs and the students they serve.

I've been absolutely thrilled with my experience with CIVICA Colorado. The teachers are outstanding, genuinely caring, and always go the extra mile to support each student's growth. The curriculum is engaging and innovative, focusing not just on academic excellence but on developing critical thinkers and problem solvers.What truly sets CIVICA apart for me is the sense of community. It's a place where every family is welcomed and involved, creating a warm and inclusive environment. Highly recommend CIVICA to any parent looking for a top-notch educational experience for their child.

I have been involved in this school for over a year. I have seen so many efforts for the growth at this school. The Principal is actively listening to the students to implement their ideas for activities and programs. We have also been informed of a multitude of expansions to the programming for next year. They are expanding their dual enrollment options, their CTE options, and course offerings to our students. Safety has always been a top priority. The hallways are calm. The staff really seem to care about the children and the students are taking more interest in getting involved in their activities. It is exciting to see the school headed in the right direction and maintaining such a high emphasis on the learning environment. One of my favorite things about the board and Principal is that they are not allowing a lot of the nonsense out in the world to distract from our childrens' education. There is a clear mission and a clean focus on the rigor of our childrens' learning. I appreciate that so much. It is worth a tour, if you would like a focused environment for your child and one where everyone knows them and what they need to succeed. There are exciting times ahead!

It's funny to me that all of these reviews came in on the same day. Feel like a marketing campaign? If you're thinking about sending your student to this school, spend a couple of days there, away from the principal. She'll paint sunshine, rainbows, and patriotism for you. But the truth will quickly come out. This isn't a place for students to learn, it's a place to turn out soldiers. If that's your bag, it will be great. If not, your kid will struggle. The other schools in this district are phenomenal, and a much better choice for our student.

This is an amazing school that teaches students to be helpful members of a community as well as smart people who can critically think for themselves. I am a teacher here and this is the first school where I feel I actually get to TEACH. Other schools I have worked in, I have to have many other jobs that came before teaching, but here I can focus on being a teacher. These students are taught the basics, taught the importance of helping others, and taught how to respect other people. We teach important values as well as the knowledge that students need to be successful in life. You can tell that we are different by just walking in the door. This is the best school and staff I have ever worked with.

Not supportive at all. Principal over shares private information. Would highly not recommend this school.

Civica far exceeds other schools in the area. Teachers care about the students and meet them where they are. This is our sons second year and we have been very thankful that Civica exists!

My son has been at Civica for two years and he's been thriving and actually learning! The school he attended before he was receiving all A's but we realized he was getting bored and needed a challenge. Civica gave him that challenge and continues to do so. They prepare the kids for college and the real world and my son has come home with knowledge beyond just the normal school classes. I truly feel here at Civica the teachers and administration always put the kids first. They are structured and make sure the kids are held accountable and help the kids advocate for themselves! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Civica and we can't wait for our daughter to be able to attend school here.

Our son has been at CIVICA since it opened his 6th grade year. We have been overwhelmingly impressed with the level of education, parent communication, and improvement our son has shown. After the abismal condition of education during covid, we have been truly blessed by CIVICA. I would recommend this school over any in the district!

This is our 2nd year at CIVICA. We looked long and hard before we made the decision to enroll our children here. The learning environment is first class. Every teacher that we have had thus far has been wonderful. The administrative staff is so amazing as well. You can see the love they have for each of the kids any time you are in the school. The teachers and administration do have high expectations from the kids, and we appreciate that. They will push them yet also encourage them to be the best that they can be. The fact that our kids will graduate with some certification or an associate degree if they choose that route is icing on the cake for us. Our family paid for private education for years. What CIVICA offers in regard to their education is at least equal to if not above what they were receiving prior to and it's FREE! So thankful we found this school and would highly recommend.

Sending our son to CIVICA has quite literally been the best decision we've ever made. The core values of CIVICA align with our own fundamental principles, which provides peace of mind as a parent. I have full faith and confidence in the staff! I can say with certainty that my child will be prepared to enter "the real world" thanks to the sense of responsibility and integrity CIVICA instills in him! The class sizes are conducive to individualized support for each student. The curriculum is challenging, which we appreciate, as it teaches my son the value of hard work. For the first time in his educational experience, he actually has to apply himself instead of just blindly being passed along. There are no words to express how blessed we are to have CIVICA in our community!

Best Middle/High School in the area. Teachers are supportive and communicate well. Safety and learning are top priorities at this school. Very transparent curriculum and no hidden agendas.

As someone who has been in education for nearly a decade, and having taught in a number of different environments, CIVICA is the best environment I have ever taught in. We are pushed to be great, with consistent feedback and mentorship that help us to grow in our classrooms and help our students to be future leaders. The environment is extremely healthy and we are very blessed to be able to do what we do each day and that is because of amazing leadership and mentorship, amazing students and incredibly involved and supportive families.

As a teacher and mom myself, I feel well equipped to offer my highest recommendation to other parents looking for a safe, loving, nurturing but academically challenging, top-notch school. With manageable class sizes, increased instructional time, frequent teacher feedback, data-driven instruction, after school academic support, and high expectations, CIVICA is a wonderful choice for students and families. Had I been given the same opportunity for my own kids during their schooling years, it would have been an easy decision. CIVICA teaches students to be kind to all, high achieving, hard working and work force ready at graduation. The gift that this school affords kids is immeasurable & it is an honor and privilege to work for something so meaningful to so many.

The community at this school is a very strong encouraging environment that pushes students to go for their dreams and be able to take the next steps in either furthering their education or already being able to start advancing in the career they are pursuing.

This school is outperforming the district and state and all surrounding middle schools. Small classes, amazing staff and a principal who will not allow bullying. Great vibes and fun environment while raising up future leaders who are smart and kind
