Compass Montessori - Golden Charter School

Posted October 12, 2009

I had 3 children attend Compass for three years each. When I enrolled them in their neighborhood school (after being very disappointed in the academics at Compass) they were all behind grade level. The adminstration is controlling and overbearing. The high school was the weakest in our opinion, with teachers who did the bare minimum. There were no extracurricular activites offered at all for high school students, unless you count asking them to do Bingo to raise money for the school.

Truly, the one of the most outstanding high school in Jefferson County. Small classes, excellent teachers and students who care about issues bigger than themselves. This school is for parents and students who are partners in education. (Which was a relief for us who don't need an outside institution to blame for mistakes made by our children or ourselves.) I've had two students graduate from Compass. Both are highly successful in their university choices and over 90% of their peers have had the same success story. Currently, two of my extended family members attend Compass and their parents also feel blessed and lucky to have this choice in Jefferson County.

I previously attended this school and it was a mistake for me. I had been in Montessori all my life and this school for me has been far from that concept. There is no variety in the curriculum and how the school is ran is very narrow minded. I regret going through the first semester I attended at Compass but luckily I got to transfer over to Ralston Valley High School which is working out amazingly and I am so happy I transfered.

I had my child in the Upper El at Compass and was so distrubed by the lack of quality education. I moved my child after the second month because I saw very little academics going on. I had heard great things about this school but it seems that it is all talk and no action. There was some dramatic removal of the Head of school at the other campus and Board members were very rude to me when I asked a couple of questions. The Head of School was very rude when I apporached her about my concerns in the my daughters classroom. This school needs some serious help. I have been very happy at my new school but hated all the changes my daughter had to experience.
