My daughter attended for four years. She graduated this year and they did a wonderful job through COVID.GW was a great school for my daughter: it has advanced and AP classes as well as the typical Public School option of a "regular" class.While this sometimes leads students to feel as though there are two schools in one, leadership does a great job of making the school feel like a unified whole, with the best intentions for students and parents alike to feel part of an open and welcoming community.DPS has great opportunities for students to excel, and allows students to take college classes at Metro State University at low cost to help get a jump start on higher education.I could not feel like my daughter is more prepared to go to college next fall, and GW did that for her and for our family.Special shout out to the English and Spanish teachers--we loved meeting with every single one of you!

I'm a student at this school and I'm just saying that this school doesn't feel safe. The hallways are cramped and messy and every student is unaware of other people. There are fights at least 2 times every week. The teachers provide a little support, but not the best. The learning experience isn't as productive as it should be.

Lowry Elementary has been amazing for my child. The teachers are unbelievably caring and genuinely want to be there. Many of them have years of experience and are leaders in their craft. Students have a tremendous amount of social-emotional support, including a psychologist, counselor, and social worker, as well as a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system; Liberty, the facility dog, was acquired through donations, fundraising, and grants as an additional social-emotional support for the school community (no school funds were used for Liberty). The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is engaged in creating a strong sense of community and hosts many free events in order to make the events accessible. The PTO supports student activities and programming, community events, staff appreciation, and funding staff positions when necessary.Since Dr. Larkin's arrival as principal, the school climate is positive, caring, and safe--a great place to send your child!
