These questions are hard to answer w/o knowing how much you want to spend, what you are looking for in schools (e.g. sports, band, theater, etc), what "safe" means to you. Give us some info and we'll try.

Hmmm...good point. We will be renting and hoping to keep the monthly rent under $1500/mo (closer to $1200 if possible).
The most important requirement in a school is that we can feel confident dropping our kids off and knowing they will be well taken care of during the day. Also desired are caring, friendly teachers and a strict no bully policy.
To us a safe neighborhood is one that we can walk around without being afraid, we can let the kids play in the yard without worry, and the street isn't dangerous to our kids and pets.
Is this to simplistic..?

I'd start in Northglenn, then, if I had too, I work on neighboring cities like Thornton, Broomfield...

I agree as well, We have owned a home in Northglenn for almost 5 years now. It is a pretty nice place to be, we feel safe, even though our house backs to a pretty busy street. You will probably be able to find what you are looking for pretty easy.
