Mrs. Zyla will not EVER help your child with any assignments/homework or offer up a solution to her home room class and will most certainly belittle and patronize you as the parent to your children when you question her abilities as a component teacher. Mrs. Esporono is a terrible stem and science teacher and will yell at your children in front of the whole class and completely humiliate them knowing that part of her job is to create daily plans for children with an IEP. Mr. Heavyland just doesn't care if your children fail, plays favorites with other students he likes and refuses to help kids with IEP plans. BEWARE.

When my children struggled, whether it was academically or socially, the teachers were nothing but supportive, compassionate, and determined to help get them back on track. My son had a few behavioral issues over the years and they were dealt with fairly. The 6th grade team does a fantastic job of preparing the kids for Junior High. I would highly recommend this school for your kiddos!

Dennison Elementary has a 44 year tradition of delivering one of the finest elementary educations…read moreto young people in Jefferson County. This is demonstrated by the numerous awards Dennison receives, the community of teachers, students, parents and alumni and the strong connection between Dennison and D'Evelyn High School. Dennison is a large lottery only Jeffco elementary school. It has a very diverse and inclusive population of students and families who attend and to me, this is one reason I think the school is exceptional. Dedicated teachers lead rigorous whole group classes to fully prepare students for junior high, high school, college and beyond. All children are held to the same educational and behavioral expectations. The students learn respect for others, accountability for learning and gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. The staff is hard-working, very dedicated and cares deeply about protecting the learning environment for students. If you are considering Dennison, take a tour. You'll notice the students are respectful, quite when walking through the halls and if you look into each classroom you will find children engaged and learning. The children utilize text books and can be observed reading, writing and taking many tests. Dennison is continually the highest ranked elementary school in Jeffco because the educational and behavioral model works. Wish more schools would follow Dennison's model to give more students this type of unique learning environment.

The staff is extremely friendly, teachers are very hands on and they are currently operating with an app called Class Dojo that lets you see pics of your kids throughout the day, get reports on their behavior, and can message the teachers all in one place. When it comes to Elementary schools, this one takes 1st place. It really is an amazing school the proof is in the reports. A+ on my list!

The teachers are excellent, compassionate, care about every one of their students and give their all to the kids. Our son's teacher used to teach at a Gifted and Talented school but she chose to come to Welchester this year and was absolutely amazing for her class. Not only did her class raise their test scores but they worked on STEM activities during class and raised money for a Friendship Bench for the school. My daughter's teacher was similarly excellent in the way she interacted with the students and they all adored her. The principal is exactly the type of principal you long for a school to have: Involved, knows every kid by name, will sit down to talk with a troubled child and get down on their level, and is not afraid to step into a difficult situation if necessary. She is fabulous and sets the tone for the entire school. As parents, my husband and I are thrilled to be a part of this school community and we totally recommend it.
