The staff and teachers are great here. The principle not great! She isnt great abo it addressing issues with bullying and safety. We have been with Aspen Crossing for three years now and its always something. My kid has verbally said she doesnt feel safe and feels the principle does nothing to help situations. My honest opinion, I wouldnt return if my kid didnt make such great friends here!

My son has attended Aspen Crossing for almost 2 years. They do not make the kids do any homework. My son has had so many issue with kids bullying him every week. The teachers and the principal do not care at all. This is a horrible school and they say Cherry Creek School district is the best well I completely disagree.

My child has had the best experience at ACE over the last 3 years. Every teacher has been dedicated to my childs learning and helping him succeed. The staff, administration, and care providers have gone above and beyond.

Terrible school. Has some amazing teachers but the principle is a real piece of work. I purchased a house in the location that I did based on the guidance that Cherry Creek schools were the best in the area. My son is so far behind at his new school because his experience as a minority there was much different than others and has none of the previous issues reported by Aspen's principal last year. Cherry Creek Schools should clean house with the leadership there and if they knew my story; they would. After care administrator has less than average intelligence and makes rules up as they go along. Poor excuse for publicly funded education.

terrible school. not teaching spelling and kids are allowed to literally run around the classroom daily while the teacher is on her laptop searching for a new house to buy. this experience was in kindergarten and first grade. kindergarten teacher said when learning to read to just guess at the word and not sound it out. also kindergarten teacher said she gave us a book bag when she never did and kept asking us to return it. these ALL 5 star reviews have got to be fake.

This is a great school with a diverse set of students. They work not only on academics but also to build a positive growth mindset and good character.

Teachers really care about the students. They ensure not only they are learning and growing fun but also work with them on emotional intelligence.

My daughter is dyslexic and they have been helpful. Did have some problems getting her identified with a learning disability. Too me advocating a lot for her.

Was better under previous principal. New principal no longer allows kids to go in front door when temps under 20 degrees. Dates of events like plays now come 2 or 3 weeks in advance instead of months.

Very good. My son has gone from Kindergarten to 5th grade, and had strong support from teachers. Only issue is lack of communication with parents. I was in classroom volunteering on regular basis and was not made aware my son was getting two 2's until report card came out.

Only issue is no communication with parents as to what homework has actually been sent home to be done.

My child is now in 2nd grade. We have been here since Kindergarten. I am blown away by this school. The principal, administrators, and staff are all phenomenal. They are super friendly and attentive to my childs needs. They regularly have school event s where the staff and parent are very active. The teachers are great with communication to parents and care about their students succeding. We have done the Before and After Care program the last few years. The staff for that department is awesome as well. They have the Watch Dog program for dads (google it) which keeps Dads active with their kids. I don't have one negative thing to say about this school other that drop off on E Tufts Dr can be a nightmare. Get there early, people are rude, double park, and sit in street blocking cars while watching their kids walk to their class rooms. We used to be bummed that we didn't get in Peakview, Antelope Ridge and Rolling Hills. Now I am glad we didn't considering our experience to date. Thank you Aspen Crossing and principal Scott Schleich for running a Great School!!!

We love ACE. Our 5th grader has been here since we moved her out of our home school at the start of 3rd grade. She has since been challenged and has blossomed under the guidance of all of the staff at ACE. She is sad to move on, but I know that she is well prepared for whatever Middle School has to offer. Thank you to all of the leadership at ACE.

The teachers guide the kids to be independent and responsible with their homework, but also to show it to their parents to let them know what is going on.
Posted: September 10, 2015
The students learn about honesty and integrity as well as fairness (and what truly is fair for each student, not necessarily the exact same) each day, and then they see the teachers, staff and administration lead by example.

We moved our kids to this school after having multiple bad experiences over at Dakota Valley. We absolutely love it. Everything from the curriculum, to the teachers, and especially the principal far exceeded what we had hoped for in an elementary school. It is refreshing to see that there are still schools that truly put the kids first, and this is definitely one of those schools.

My kids attended this school after moving to Colorado from the East Coast. They were previously at a private school. I was surprised to find that the level of academics at Aspen was actually more advanced than what they had been accustomed to. The staff is wonderful, principal is great. A true family atmosphere. Both are in middle school now, but I have very fond memories of my kids' time at Aspen.

My kids have been with ACE since kindergarten, I am very pleased with their curriculum. They have the best teachers and principal. Their teachers are so caring to their students they even stopped me during their grocery shopping and chatted with me for half an hour trying to hear my comments on their work and how they can become better. Can't really ask for more. They are the best!

ACE is an excellent school. The principal is hands on involved making sure things run to meet his standards. The teachers too are the best of the best. Its a safe atmosphere where you know your child is getting top notch education and care.

We can't say enough good about this school. The Principal and teachers have exceeded our expectations. Mrs. Withycombe and Mrs. Sunstrom have been amazing. They are so good at what they do, and you can feel that they really care about their students and want them all to succeed. We are so thankful to have our kids at Aspen Crossing.
