Central West Denver

We have been incredibly impressed with this dual language elementary school. The academic program is rigorous and engaging, providing students with a strong foundation while fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning. The dual language model is thoughtfully implemented, allowing students to develop fluency and confidence in two languages while gaining a deeper appreciation for different cultures and perspectives.What truly sets this school apart is its strong sense of community and belonging. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the welcoming and inclusive culture. Teachers, staff, and families work together to create an environment where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. The school celebrates diversity and encourages students to embrace their identities while learning from one another.The dedicated educators go above and beyond to ensure students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. There is a genuine commitment to building meaningful relationships and creating a positive school experience for every child. We are grateful to be part of a school community that prioritizes excellence, cultural enrichment, and connection. This is a place where students don't just learn—they truly belong.

If your considering enrolling your child here, DONT! The teacher our daughter got for ECE, 2 years in a row, was treating my girl different from other kids. Discriminating her. I reported it to the principal and all of a sudden became the problem. I got thrown out of this school because I confronted the teacher because the principal was allowing it and someone had to speak up for her. My daughter had to stand in a hallway with cerebral palsy until everyone left the school just to keep their kids safe and staff. I couldn't do her off of pick her up without being treated really bad by all staff. I stood outside in the rain until they went to get my daughter. She ran out the doors because she seen me and they physically grabbed my daughter and put her behind a locked door until there school was let out. Do not take your kids here. Their test scores are well underneath average with only 4% in math and 11% in reading/writing. 4% out of the entire school. That's sad. Look up the tests scores on Google and other sites. I finally got sick of it and had to remove her. It was unfair, injustice, wrongfully handled, and the treatment from the teacher never stopped even when the principal knew. They dealt with it internally and covered each other up. If you want your kids to have a quality education, this isn't the place. If you want your child and your family to be treated fairly and equally and good then this isn't the place. That's why reviews exist. Don't take your kids here.

As a parent, a unicorn school is one that feels safe, has great teachers, and a collaborative administration. Edison feels relatively safe, and all teachers we've had have been great — each trained to identify and handle gifted students. That alone makes this a good school.It would be a great school if the administration were better. The principal's strengths are in managing the school operationally, but leadership, conflict resolution, and genuine engagement with parents are not among them. She tends to see parents as adversaries and pushes their concerns toward the (admittedly well-run) PTA. The enrollment staff is notably unwelcoming — in our experience and in conversations with other families.If you sail into this school easily and never interact with the administration, you will enjoy Edison and your kids will test well through the grades. If you're looking for a collaborative administration, diversity, and general empathy for children, you may be better served elsewhere.
