I am a parent of a child in a general education class and a parent of a special needs child in a center program class at this school. We have been enrolled in this school for several years and as a parent and teacher myself I could not be more pleased with this school. Most importantly, my children’s emotional needs and mental health needs are graciously met. The school psychologists have cared and understood my children in ways no other therapist ever had before. The way they speak of the children shows the knowledge and training they have but the love they have for each of these kids. I have not met a teacher that I have not been impressed with. The staff here loves big!! Even their classrooms are so cozy and time and money spent to make their kids have a space like this shows they love their work. They are each encouraged to be true to themselves and teach with their life’s passion. The staff loves and appreciates their leader and so do I. The principal Mr. Wera is one of a kind. In my years teaching and involvement in schools as a parent, I have never seen the dedication for staff, care for community, love for children and personal time shown the way this man does. His involvement with the schools, families and the community is something you rarely see. Having a child with behavioral special needs, I never have felt he was more loved and understood by a team. I have never been disappointed by a decision made in this school and never felt judged or not heard completely. My children were safe and cared for. The hands on education and engaged learning they received was just a bonus. This is a school and staff that will never be matched by another.

this school is TERRIBLE. all 3 of me going here they have never been on top of anything at all. i have been going there since 6th grade and all of a sudden they remove me from the school as if i never was enrolled, they are acting like the don’t have all of this in their hands, they refuse to return any phone calls or emails. we have gone through at least 3 principles in 1 year. just overall a bad school.

Sick and tired of these kids being rude and disruptive on the RTD route 105 when school is over. They won't let a senior citizen sit down when the bus is full and they ride for free! I think a assembly is necessary to tell them too knock it off or walk home. Im SICK OF IT I went too the worst DPS school in Denver North High graduated in 1976. I think your students are pathetic little punks!
