Broomfield High School

I was uncomfortable and bullied thoroughly throughout my entire experience at this school. I'm from a low-income family and I dress comfortably as I don't feel comfortable showing off my entire body (as most of the students here do). Most students at this school come here with basically no top on or no pants and prance around, it's actually quite disgusting and appalling. I've also seen teachers looking down into other students' "shirts" numerous times or checking them out, which is absolutely disgusting. There have been no repercussions for these actions, either, as the school seems to almost encourage this behavior. If you are not a varsity athlete or a popular girl or boy, you will be bullied and harassed your entire time here. You will have next to 0 friends and no one will want to hang out with you, basically. If you want friends or people who won't humiliate you just because of what you wear, I recommend joining a band/orchestra. The people there are super sweet and aren't entitled, arrogant, cliquey kids.In general, the people here are super entitled and spoiled and will make fun of you if you aren't athletic or popular. If you don't fit into either of those categories or you are a minority, you will be bullied and treated like dog poop. Although there are some sweet people here and nice groups you can join that'll have your back, the majority of people here are really annoying. Honestly, being at this school has caused my anxiety and depression to reach new heights that it never has before.The staff are either super helpful or super demeaning. The staff basically favor those who are into sports or are popular, but some teachers can be nice to you if you are nice to them, I guess. The worst experience I had with a teacher was when my science teacher made me stand up and stand next to this popular boy. She said, "What's the difference between these two?" and the entire class shouted, "[My name] is ugly!" I'm not sure why my science teacher insisted on humiliating me every single day, as I was actually doing fairly well in her class, but it's whatever. I mean, she definitely contributed to a lot of my anxiety issues and self-esteem problems, but hey, sports right!?Anyways. The education itself and school itself isn't the problem. It's really just the general population of this school that's the problem. But I guess it's just expected of high school, y'know? All of them are cliquey. Anyways, I recommend homeschooling all the way over this hell.

Overall there are some really great teachers who want to see kids succeed. They offer tutor time on Thursdays starting at 1:30. Teacher are in there classroom and students come to them for extra help. My son had Ms. Carroll. I heard from other parents that she is really hard on students who are athletes. She is very slow at grading and sometimes kids were ineligible because it took her so long to enter grades. When my son needed help she was never in her classroom during tutor time. I would email her asking when he could meet with her to get extra help or redo an assignment. I never received a response back. When my son would talk to her she would be very condesending, like she knew she had the power if he was eligible or not. Almost smirky like in her tone. I really wished I had listen to the other parents and asked for a different Spanish teacher. If your child is starting at Broomfield and you see Ms. Carroll as their teacher, change immediately. She is in the wrong profession. Her goal is not to see students succeed.

This school has been amazing for both of my kids. I have a boy and a girl and both have had great teachers, amazing leadership, loads of clubs to choose from and many many advanced classes to chose from.

Great school community, they have been around a long time and know how to get things done. Great academics, school clubs ,sports and staff is exceptional !!
