Some of the good things about Golden High School are it's sense and involvement with the community as well as the safety I felt while attending. I think it could improve upon its resources and awareness for mental health. As a girl with severe anxiety that affected my academic performance and ability to function day to day, I felt like mental health was more of a hushed topic there and I was afraid and ashamed to discuss it with my teachers. I did reach out to my counselor several times and she was great but I still wished there were more resources and options for me. Posted: 3/31/2018 by Alum When I was there, many of the teachers truly cared about teaching us and making sure we understood what we learned. There was also numerous AP opportunities, which helped me prepare for college a lot more than I expected. Finally, many of the teachers and advisers were incredibly helpful when getting me to the college I wanted. I didn't participate much in sports, but from what I understood, most of our teams didn't do great. We did have an interesting amount of clubs though, and I participated in the engineering/tech club. Posted: 10/2/2017 by Senior I absolutely love Golden! Over the past 4 years, I have been involved in many sports, clubs, and organizations. It is a great place for both academics and extracurriculars. Go Demons! Posted: 3/13/2017 by Alum The senior teachers are amazing! If you get a chance to take Blincoe, Garvin Bryson, or Ponicsan, do it! The hardest teachers are by far the best at Golden, and they will love you if you put work into whatever you do. People will attend the basketball games and the school spirit is amazing. There will always be a couple of negative people, but the overall experience was amazing! Posted: 9/15/2015 by Niche User I absolutely adore Golden. Golden wasn't my home school but I am so glad I decided to attend this school! In general, I have adored all my teachers and really gotten to know most of them and become friends with them. I take mostly AP and honors classes though so I wouldn't know about the other teachers. Also the programs here are amazing! No other school have such a diversity in experimental learning programs. We have a science trip in Hawaii that was one of the most fun experiences of my life, and you learn so much. Also the junior raft trip and senior seminar are both amazing and really help connect everyone in Golden. The community is very outdoorsy and people love to get to know one another here, and everyone is always trying to help each other achieve greatness. I have nothing but good things to say about the school! Except maybe now the lunch times are a bit short, the attendance and tarty rules are a bit strict, and the structure during ACE can be a bit over the top sometimes. But overall this school is wonderful and I would choose to go here every time if I could go back. Copyright 2018 Realtors Property Resource® LLC. All Rights Reserved. Information is not guaranteed.

  • Teacher Absence and Student Achievement in Jeffco
    Teacher Absence and Student Achievement in Jeffco by Tom Coyne Jeffco's goal is to graduate students who are career and college ready. Taxpayers have invested heavily to achieve that goal: The most recent data show that Jeffco's total revenue is about $11,000 per student per year; this means that on average we invest $126,500 in each Jeffco student over the course of their education in grades K-11 (with kindergarten counted at $5,500). Unfortunately, taxpayers -- not to mention students and their parents -- have been earning a very disappointing return on this investment. Every student in Colorado takes the ACT test in eleventh grade. It is the last comprehensive measure we have of the cumulative result of the taxpayers’ investment in twelve years (K-11) of their education. In 2015, only 44% of Jeffco students met the ACT’s “college and career ready” (C&C) standard in reading, only 44% in math, and only 40% in science. Between 2008 and 2015, over 27,000 Jeffco 11th graders have failed to meet the C&C standard in reading, over 28,000 have failed to meet the math standard, and over 34,000 have failed to meet the science standard. Among Jeffco students eligible for free and reduced lunch (FRL), just 24% met the C&C reading standard, 20% met the math standard, and 18% met the science standard. However, only 50% of non-FRL eligible students met the C&C reading standard, 54% met the math standard, and 47% met the science standard. Jeffco Teacher Absences and Student Achievement 1 Thanks to globalization and the rapidly advancing capabilities of technology, our children will have to make their living in an intensely competitive and highly uncertain world that puts an increasingly high premium on their cognitive abilities.
