The Montessori School Of Washington Park

One of the sweetest, most nurturing neighborhood schools in the city of Denver. Both the traditional and Montessori teachers are incredible. Many of them have been at the school for more than 10 years. The principal is a former Montessori teacher and knows the strengths of both forms of education. Her leadership has been a light in the public school system. There are very few schools that do both traditional and Montessori education this well. Both of my children have thrived, love school, feel comfortable and safe in this environment.

One of the “female” Paras talks about employees to other employees and parents. I have witnessed her getting loud with one of the male paras in the hallway. I saw this picking up my little brother from school. I consider this unprofessional and very disturbing behavior to treat colleagues like this. Next year i will be suggesting to pull my brother out because of this para. This is not how you treat fellow employees!

When I went to this school the teachers were excellent in 1st-4th grade , but once I went into 5th grade that's when it all changed. The teacher didn't really care about the students all they cared about was the students grades and getting paid. If you were falling behind in a subject well good luck to the student because there was no support, and if there was than the parents would have to pay that specific teacher money and that was on top of the tutition fee as well. There was a lot of bullying 5th-8th grade and teachers wouldn't even do nothing about it. They didn't care about the students mental health at all. If your kid has depression or anxiety they won't get any support at all. Especially if a student has special needs than kiss that education gone because they didn't have the proper tools to deal with them. The teachers would get overwhelmed even with 24-26 kids in a room. They couldn't handle that big of a class, and there were no supports for them if the teacher needed help. I remember that my art teacher almost quiet her job because of how disruptive the class was.

I loved this school!!! I went here for 8 years and every single one the teachers were amazing, and I was excited to go back every day! I want to shout out to all my teachers, and the music, art, and physical education were amazing! I 1000% recommend going here. The principal is SO inclusive and everyone was so so nice. I hope everyone could love this school.
