Ralston Elementary School

Curtis: As a former teacher, married to another currently certified teacher, and as a parent with two children in Ralston, I can say that is is an incredible school. Located in the most beautiful mountains just outside Denver, with herds of elk, mule deer, and buffalo, it just doesn't get any prettier than this. And the quality of the education is second to none. There are virtually no discipline problems, no drugs, gangs or other issues. The teachers are all highly qualified, the majority with master's degrees. And the principal, Karen Quanbeck, is the BEST! I'm so happy my children have had the opportunity to grow up in this little slice of heaven.
