Aurora Frontier K-8 School
I think that they are unresponsive to parents' inquiries into curriculum. I asked multiple times for plans surrounding their 5th track program and could only get vague answers-- never was I provided specifics about how they were planning to teach the children or how they were going to measure the teaching process to access whether they needed to change their approach to teaching the student. Same thing applies to their tutoring programs as well as their gifted childrens programs. Sure they are great at the superficial chatting with parents, but when you ask where's the beef, they come up woefully short! And frankly, it shows in their CSAP scoring.
