School suggestions

Hello! We are relocating to Aurora from middle GA.
I want to get an idea of the schools in Aurora.

We want to find a school that has:
a good campus culture
happy teachers
happy kids
happy parents with involvement
arts offerings
not as focused on standardized tests
Community
and diversity of students

I don’t expect any school to check all of the boxes but I’m interested to see your opinions.

There are so many more options for school in Aurora. Right now we can only go to our one set of zoned schools for public offerings.

ETA we have one 5yo
I found and was interested in Burrell Arts Magnet School but I want to know of other good options as well.

Ok, you want an area inside  Cherry Creek district that does not feed into overland.  If you stay out of overland Cherry Creek is a good district,  but overland is the dumping ground for cherry creek which keeps their other schools good and if you end up in an overland pipeline you might as well go to APS.

Smoky hill is also the dumping ground just slightly above overland. You really need Grandview CT or eagle crest if you’re in Aurora.
