What Families Are Saying

"I am a single mom struggling to figure out where I should send my daughter for middle school. This is such a difficult field to navigate, and I honestly cannot imagine not having Jen's help. She has been a lifeline for me and completely vital to both helping facilitate the process and preserve my sanity. She is candid, knowledgeable, practical, supportive, and worth every penny. Thank you Jen!"

K.D.

"Being new to the Denver area, we were so happy and relieved to get some help from Jen on what educational paths to consider for our son. We were pleased she outlined both public and private options, and she really considered how our son would fit within each."

R.S.

"Going into the consultation we were slightly apprehensive and did not know much about the school choices for our daughter. We came away from the consultation feeling much more educated about the options and which schools were the right fit for her learning needs. There was a whole list of schools that we didn't know about that turned out to be great options. We are so glad that we did this and felt it was well worth the time and money!"

C.C.

"I am so thankful we were able to work with Jen Rigsby during this process of evaluations and school recommendations. She was so incredibly helpful and has gone beyond the call of duty. She was knowledgeable about our current school, and was extremely understanding of our situation and took the extra time to help me understand the process and ensure we were seeing a fuller picture of school options not only for now, but what will help set us up for the future. Thank you for everything!"

H.W.

"Our meeting with Jen exceeded our expectations more than we could have imagined. She was direct and to the point, appealing to our ever-growing desire to identify what our the best options for OUR child, not just which schools are the best. My husband can be hard-to-please and had concerns about the cost of our consultation, and felt more than satisfied and thrilled at Jen's knowledge, efficiency, and options in considering what is best for our daughter as an individual. We couldn't recommend Jen highly enough! Well worth the cost to have left with not only some fantastic options for our child's education, but also a great reduction in the amount of stress we had about the process before meeting!"

J.G.

"Jen was exceptional. She took time to understand who we are and our values and then methodically and thoroughly discussed schools we were considering and those we hadn't thought about yet. Her insight was invaluable. We would recommend Jen to anyone in a heartbeat. My only disappointment is I wish we had more time. I have burning questions and wish I could just call Jen up. Maybe we can hire her for one more hour…."

N.B.

"Jen assisted us in finding the right middle school, elementary school, and preschool for all of our three children in connection with our relocation from the east coast to Denver. She was knowledgeable, honest, authentic, candid, straightforward and incredibly responsive. She also assisted us in finding the right professionals to meet each of our children's unique educational needs. Jen made the very difficult and overwhelming process of moving across the country much easier with her compassion, understanding, and strong working knowledge in education and the Denver community. I highly recommend using her services!"

M.B.

"I absolutely loved working with Jen! I had done some of my own school research, but it's very hard to know from afar if a school is great or not by its website. That's where Jen's incredible knowledge and connections come in handy! She was able to give me real feedback on the schools that I had already selected and then suggest other schools that I had not heard of as excellent options. On top of all that, having Jen involved in our school decision making process has eliminated so much stress and worry about choosing the wrong school for our kids. I couldn't be more happy with our experience working with Jen!"

W.W.

"My friends think having a HGT kid is a great thing. Yet, at times it can be really hard on my family. My son was attending our high performing neighborhood school, but it was not the right place for him. Jen helped us identify the public and private options that would best serve our unique learner. I am so glad we invested the time with Jen to help out son be successful in and out of the classroom."

M.B.

"Jen Rigsby is an expert in the field of Education. She is connected to resources and all things related to optimal child development and education. Whether it be academic, social emotional, cultural or any support desired, the team at Front Range and especially Jen will make sure that your family is 100% satisfied, supported and connected beyond your expectations."
