I absolutely despise this school system. Beware if you want to send a child here. Unless your child is stellar in school beware. If your child has any learning difficulties they will go out of their was to harrass them, make their self esteem plummet and try and get them out. There is no help here for any child who has any difficulties. The entire system places most of it's emphasis elsewhere.
This high school is on a recovery program. Of course, elementary school and middle school become a part of this as the kids move through these schools. There is so much empasis on math and now science, and girls, that boys are being neglected. The girls have caught up in math and science as more reading and language has been injected into these subjects. The boys are behind in reading and writing so this doesn't benefit them, and they don't get the attention and encouragement they need and deserve. They are stereotyped, in reading and writing, just like girls use to be in math and science. But this is a nationwide problem, also.
EPHS is on a road of recovery from poor leadership at the district level. Currently the District has seen major gains in all areas and continues to be recognized as a leader of change from the CDE. The District is acdemically compared to Cherry Creek & Boulder Valley and is right in there with the top preformers across the state. The work initated by the current Supertindent is not finished and continues to be tweaked as needed for all students.
I have had two children graduate from Estes Park High School. I was generally disappointed with the school. I am seriously concerned about academic performance, primarily in the sciences. I do not believe that students that graduate from Estes Park High School are equipped to pursue careers in technical math/science careers. We need to stop congratulating ourselves and attempt to provide all students with an appropriate and challenging education.
