Altona Middle School

Not a terrible school but I wish that their time there was better. The school tried to change my kid programs by saying this is what we are doing instead of asking/explaining to us why. Something fishy was going on. Kids were excluded from groups by other kids. Too much drama and bullying.

It has been a good school for my child

My personal experience with this school was quite enjoyable. All of the teachers I met were wonderful and had experience and an open mind. The school itself was nicely kept, had many wonderful learning opportunities as well as educational resources. The school environment is very welcoming to all students. The only downside to this school is the slightly excessive work that seems to trump quantity over quality which causes stress and even significant loss of sleep. However, don't let that fact cloud over this high quality school, if your child has good work ethic and time management skills then they will not only succeed but flourish in Altona.

I moved my child here after 5 years in a local Longmont Charter school. My child was behind in Math and writing but motivated to learn. The wonderful staff at Altona allowed him to choose the courses he wanted to take. He was able to challenge himself, work hard and get caught up in Math and will be taking all honors courses in high school. This would not have been possible if we had stayed at the local Charter school. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Altona and the exemplary education they offer to our children. I am so sorry that we wasted our time in a Charter, please do your research before you make that choice for your own children.
