New Vision Charter School

Summary:

New Vision Charter School is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Loveland, Colorado, serving 998 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Thompson School District R-2j, which is ranked 46 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Vision Charter School consistently outperforms the Thompson School District and the state of Colorado in academic assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in CMAS English Language Arts (55.8% vs. 42.9% and 44.1%) and CMAS Math (42% vs. 33.3% and 34.2%). This trend has been consistent over the past few years. Additionally, the school's performance on CMAS assessments is strong across different student subgroups, including Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While New Vision Charter School outperforms the district and state, some of the nearby traditional public schools, such as Centennial Elementary School and High Plains School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in certain grade levels and subject areas. The school's academic success may be attributed to factors such as its charter school status and the socioeconomic profile of its student population, which has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to many of the nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote We have been at NVCS for 3 years. They do a great job at not letting students fall through the cracks. Staff at NVCS ensures that every student is receiving the support they need to succeed. We have students on opposite ends of the learning spectrum, so finding a school who can grow both gifted and talented and our student who needs extra help was important. New Vision has high standards for their students and staff. Behavior that is allowed to persist in other schools is addressed at NVCS and they take school safety very seriously. The focus on educating the whole child is something that makes them stand out as a school, and their commitment to a safe learning environment is something that sets them apart from other schools in the district.

Open Quote 1. Discriminators.
#2. Prejudice.
#3. Favoritism is huge at this school.
#4. Educators - hit or miss...
#5. Staff - hit or miss as well unless your up to par "the in crowd".
#6. Driveline is horrible - from drop off to pick up, waiting in line one hour to an hour & a 1/2 is outrageous. What a waste of time when having to deal with all the above.
Not what we expected nor anticipated! Very unhappy, displeased and disappointed.
There are other schools here in Loveland that show more respect and accept you as you are and give you more time before and after school to spend with your loved one's. Close Quote

Open Quote I have two kids who attend this school and a third that will be attending in the future. The teachers and administration are all open and caring and genuinely care about my children and their future. The education is top notch and the school does a fantastic job of also promoting civic awareness and responsibility. Close Quote

Open Quote I was thought that school was a happy place where curiosity was developed among children. But not in our case, this school was a perfect description of verbal and emotional abuse that came from school, staff and students. The school created such an unpleasant environment for both of us. The things that they have done continued to be a nightmare for us. They did so much damage to our family, that I could not wait when this year would be over and we could move on to a new school, far away from their dysfunctional environment. This is what they do. They find a child that may be not confident, may be from a low-income household, may be a single parent household, may be African-American descend (FYI: there are no black kids there), and they start picking at him/her until they are mentally/psychologically/emotionally broken. Please do not take away your child’s happiness and desire for learning, curiosity, love, peace and balance. Please be your kids’ advocate, and follow your intuition. Close Quote

Open Quote Our children have attended NVCS for 6 years. We chose the school for the core knowledge curriculum (not to be confused with common core), the K-8 consistency and community feel (2 classes per grade = teachers know their students!). We stay because our kids love going to school and the teachers are talented and supportive. Highly recommend you take a tour to see if NVCS is a fit for your student, of any age. New (very seasoned) principal starting in 2016-17. Close Quote

Open Quote Due to the confusing schedules, unnecessary rules and systems, and lack of student motivation and expression, I would not recommend this school to middle schoolers. Even I couldn't take what New Vision Charter School throws at their students. Close Quote

Open Quote The classes at New Vision are overall very positive, catering to all learning styles and providing an environment where learning & succeeding go hand in hand. Our family loves New Vision, our children have all excelled there, and we like that it is definitely a school where it takes family involvement for your child to really shine. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
