This school is the worst one by far and needs some help. They do not do ANYTHING as far as dances and socializing with activities. They do the exact same ones every year which is about 1 maybe 2 if you can make the turkey in the cafeteria with their 30 mins of eating time on a holiday. And the other one is exactly the same stuff my son did in preschoolÂ…. Go to classrooms make little crafts talk as little as possible and get out is their attitude not only with the parents the kids also. They leave them outside in below freezing until the bell rings. They are so lowly funded it seems for being attached to fort Carson districtÂ… no tablets no nothing I got a little packet for homework one time. They do not teach spelling words cursive. The red headed office lady will discriminate against ypu of you are any sort of pretty or nice person and question weather your kids belong to the man you had them with.

I hate working here. Worst school I've ever worked at. My skills aren't being used. I feel disrespected by administrators and dread coming into work every day.

My son requires assistance in many educational areas. The support staff here is phenomenal!

My child has not been bullied so I have no opinion.

They are not open to different strategies and techniques.
Posted: April 3, 2018
They have a great character building program but it is not used by the teachers.
Posted: April 3, 2018
Administrators are dishonest and leading teachers are phony.
Posted: April 3, 2018
They use minimal strategies and treat the students as if they all the same.

I have not experience any issues will my child so I can not set for sure.

If I could give this school a ZERO I would. They teachers and administrators are rude and they do not genuinely care about families. They seem to try new ideas to see if it will help, but they are changing things too frequently.
Posted: April 3, 2018
My child's teacher is inconsistent about sending anything home.

They moved the signfact needs Special Ed to Mesa Elemantary. I loved Aragon but moving that program to another school was a huge mistake. Before that I would have given them a stronger approval for the SE program.

They take the time to teach the kids how to be nice to each other. They teach them how to find the good in others.

I love Aargon. My child went to school from kindergarten to 4th grade there. He was moved to Mesa for grade 5 because they moved the Special ED- significant needs class to Mesa Elemantary. I think that was a massive mistake. The Adminstration and the teachers were great at Aargon. I didn't get the same feeling with the staff at Mesa. My son's 5th grade general ED teacher at Mesa was terrible. She only paid attention to the kids she thought were smart. Mesa is not all bad. They have an amazing gym teacher. At Aargon all of the staff knew and loved my son. At Mesa it felt like the special ED kids were separated from the other kids. They clearly haven't had experience with them. At Aargon they were all very involved with helping our son grow as a person. He enjoyed going to school at Aargon. He liked every teacher he had there and so did we.

HORRIBLE school, if it were an option, I wouldn't even give it a 1 terrible star. I thought it was a good school but instead of helping the kids and push for them to be better, they say week they are supposed to be in 4th grade reading but I have then in 2nd grade so they can push their potential! I have not a clue how this could possibly happen. My kids even tell me the teachers don't know what their doing. I can't wait until the end of the year and my kids are going to be somewhere else next year! Extremely disappointed with the school and teachers. Also the teacher turnover at this school is ridiculous and they keep there favorites. Everyone who has kids here know this. Also shouldn't there be a dress code for teachers! Some of the clothes they wear should be on teens and not adults teaching our children! I have seen everything from stilettos to fish net pants with short shorts under. I couldn't believe it! Also the food is HORRIBLE.

I have been a special education teacher for 8+ years. I have lived in the D-8 boundaries for 6 years now. My grandson attends the Aragon Pre-K program. I have seen steady growth with my grandson as he has unique needs that have been provided for his education. I cannot say enough good things about the support and the care that my daughter and I have witnessed since his enrollment. The school system is only one part of a child's education. The parent involvement in their child's education plays a MINIMUM of 40% to insure that their child follows through with the expectation of the school and classroom rules. I would highly recommend Aragon Elementary to any new and/or military family.

I'm tired of this school and can't wait for the school year to be over to remove my kid from this school.... excuses... and blame Hey if your school scores are down then sit look at what needs to be fixed, Look at this they wonder why kids are stressed and emotional when a teacher can't pull a child to the side to question them about class work, they will do it in front of the whole school and now the child is embarrassed and crying this is harsh...

This school work like a team and taking care a military kids when the parent's are out .
