Rangeview Highschool is pretty inclusive and fun. Of course, every student is different making the school very diverse. Most teachers here are very fun and understand the students within their classes. Sure, not every teacher is up to students expectations but not everything can be perfect. Rangeview Highschool hosts different and varied events and activities that makes the “Highschool experience” really feel special to all students.

I gave the school three stars because it’s pretty much average to me. Over the course of four years my son had some wonderful teachers mixed in with lots of mediocre ones. Sometimes I wondered if he actually learned anything. His counselor was really wonderful, but the school itself needs some work. He was in the gifted program and I don’t remember one time somebody reaching out to go over things with us so he pretty much fell off the wagon after the first year of school. It makes me wonder if they just put people on specific lists so they can get funding for the school but don’t really do anything with the kids after the fact or after they’ve been identified. I’m glad he’s graduated.

Overall, I am very pleased with the school, staff and teachers. My only complaint is the excessive time it takes to advise the teachers when a child is absent from school, it's currently 48 hours and that leaves the teachers believing the student is an "unexcused absence."

Posted: December 29, 2020

Based on scores.....it's obvious that the community doesn't care and the school board is afraid of losing their elected positions. My God! I would be embarrassed to live in this city with such a horrible school system. 86% grad. rate? What do they do? play on their cell phones all day, take "credit recovery" via computer than anybody with 1 brain cell and air in their lungs can do? I can see why nobody wants to teach here.

The teachers are always making sure students are on track and are given the help they need to succeed

Posted: May 8, 2019

Staff is very invested and involved with all students to make sure they will graduate and have the best experience at rangeview possible

Posted: May 8, 2019

Not all students get along and most would rather help themselves than anyone else

Posted: May 8, 2019

All staff accommodates each and every student with all kinds of learning disabilities

Posted: May 8, 2019

The Dean's and SRO makes it very know that Billy will not be tolerated and you will be punished for disru other students days with harrassment

My experience at Rangeview High School was for the most part very positive. I had great support from the staff and from my teachers. They always checked on me and my mom when they knew we were going through hard times. The only problem I had was the students who chose to bully, harass and spread rumors to intentionally hurt others. Otherwise Rangeview is one of the top School in Colorado in my opinion

Posted: September 14, 2018

Yes they do, they try to make sure everyone has equal opportunity.

Posted: September 14, 2018

Ron Fey is a good leader, so is Mr. ANDERSON.They are fair to all of the kids.

Posted: September 14, 2018

They are given homework to enha nce skills. The kids who want to be responsible, do well. The help is there if they choose to seek help.

Posted: September 14, 2018

These teachers are strong, helpful and care a lot. Otherwise, they would not be there

Posted: September 14, 2018

Yes, when kids want to do good, the opportunities aree there.

Posted: September 14, 2018

When a bullying problem arose, Ron Fey dealt with the issue fairly and constructively.

Posted: September 14, 2018

My son graduated with high honors, 4 honor chords, and
he put in outstanding effort throught the 4 years he attended here. The teachers/leadership are great!

This school does not let students or parents have a voice. I have tried to meet with the principal several times and the secretary tells me he is not in that day. I drove up to school and his was standing in the office visiting with staff. The secretary told me she had no idea he was there. The principal than discussed issues with me, but later denied talking about them or that we had ever met. This is the leader of a high school?

Rangeview High School is a school that establishing the path for all other urban high schools to follow. Staff care, are thoughtful, and go above and beyond for the students. They offer the best ACT Prep class in the state- Mr. Petry is awesome. Leadership is solid.

RangeView highschool is not any diffrenet than other school like gateway or hinkly. The teachers teach at there own pase, and when stutdents are being bullied the staff doest really seem to do much about the situation. It seems like they make issues worse by makeing students talk to each other because that just makes the bulliy wanna be even meaner to the poor student. Students fight aot in the hallways and its really crowded in the hallways. I didnt feel safe in that school and its getting bad in there i wouldnt wanna be a new student there so plz dont bring ur kids there its not fun.

Rangeview HS is a very good school. My son graduated from Rangeview and he was very inspired by Ms. Fox. to pursue an English major,. He says Ms. Fox is one of the best teachers he has ever had. My daughter is also attending Rangeview. Both of my kids have had good teachers at Rangeview and my kids worked very hard on many assignments. Both of my kids have received excellent grades!

Posted: March 17, 2011

It is difficult to put the Rangeview experience into words, but they are losing 17 more teachers, so this is bound to get worse. Students making very low state test scores are told that they are advanced in their classrooms. If you bring up an issue about your student it will be hushed over, weather the issue is good or bad, its really sad. The principal is unresponsive and the staff seems determined to use students until they can get as much government money as possible. Student have been forced to make quick decisions about their futures, about the same way used car salesmen force themselves on suspected buyers. Students are allowed to know take a "pre-test" and then they are given that same information for their regular "test" and then they are allowed to keep taking it until they pass. Counselors fail to present honest information to all students. Students know more information about the personal lives of teachers then they do about actual subjects. They are lax in every area - take a hard look at the tardy policy. There are systemic problems that the current administration is not equipped to deal with, nor do they have the inclination.

As a Student this is definitely the best school APS has to offer, i've attended two other schools in the area, Rangeview teachers actually care about the students, the administration do their job, all the sports programs are great, and we learn actual skills that are needed after graduation.

Rangeview is challenging and fun. It has many clubs and sports and a good staff. It is top of APS in test scores, curriculum, and safety. However Rangeview is forced to succumb to the ludicrous ruling of APS, bringing us Standard Based Grading, a soon to come no off period schedule, and what once was a 93% for an A idea (which actually might have been exclusively Rangeview). APS brings forth condescending and degrading policies that has been haunting many concerned parents and students seeking equal opportunities with other competing students (outside of APS), and quality education. Parents seeking this school should be very cautious knowing fool well that you may harm the probability of your students' success with college admission and scholarships.
