9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, I could not be happier. With progressive underpinnings, competent teachers, and wide resources, Washburne maintains a culture of respect for the kids, thereby coaxing kids into caring about the development of their own academic abilities. While so many other schools seem designed to kill a student's natural curiosity and love of learning, Washburne works hard to re-awaken it.Parent Review9y ago - Greeley Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreeley is a absolute gem! Parents, teachers and staff all are a community like no other. They have worked tremendously hard to keep the students engaged and receive an experience that balances all areas of growth and learning. A kudos to the dedication, diligence and tenacity of all of the teachers who go beyond for the students. As a new parent adjusting from city to burbs coupled with all that we had to adjust during the last year, beyond none, the teachers are our continued heroes!Parent Review3y ago
