The teachers are caring, devoted people and the principal is very approachable. I watched him walk a new student home to make sure he knew the way! I like the small community feel of this school!

I am proud to support this school as good example of committed staff and team work in our educational system.

This school has been around for along time in Arvada. My older brothers went to this school and a…read morecouple of the teachers also went here. They are the Hackberry Hill Hawks. They have a great playground,nice gym, there own caffeteria with fresh cooked food everyday. Hackberry has a nice library with a great librarian. They also have one of the best music programs in the state. The principal is awesome and all the staff are great.They also have some of the highest scores in the state. It took two years for my kids to get in but was worth the wait. I volunteer as a crossing guard three days a week and spend lots of time in the class room. If you live in arvada/westy area and looking for a school definetlly check out Hackberry. The only down fall is they have Half day kindergarden but just as effective as allday kindergarten.

If I could give this school no stars I would. My 3rd grader started at the start of school in 2018…read moreand it has been a nightmare! She has been bullied almost every day. I've had multiple meetings with the principal/teacher and even spoke with the superintendent but nothing has changed. She has been physically assaulted by a boy multiple times and we had a problem with other girls pulling at her clothing/jewelry to the point of damaging clothes and ripping a necklace off of her body. She did defend herself once but received an in school suspension for doing so. The last time I spoke to the principal he said my child was lying. I have personally watched the bullying happen and it makes me sick. I cannot believe this staff is letting my little girl continue to be bullied like this! Do not send your children here if you hope to have your children protected, this staff will not provide safety from other students.

We just got back from the annual Carson Community Dinner. A spaghetti meal with as many parents,…read morekids and staff as we can find. It is held in the cafeteria and people and children are milling about, eating their pasta, smiling, chatting, laughing and just plain old ENJOYING this simple moment in time. The choir sang ... my heart grew at least 7 sizes. Smiling faces of elementary school kids, dressed up, singing in the round, singing their hearts out. It was better than any Broadway show I've seen. There were 3 young men, two 4th graders and one 5th, and they played the flute, clarinet and sax. There are no words for how cute this was and how hard these boys must have worked. Not to mention Angie Hanning, the music and drama teacher here. She is priceless and the amount of time she puts in with the children is great.Thank you Angie. We had to say good bye to our principal Gwen Gethers... after 30 years with DPS. Gwen will be nearly impossible to replace. It was one of those nights, one of those moments you have... when you "get" just how very lucky and thankful you are. This school has given us so much. A wonderful, safe, creative, education and sense of community beaming with integrity and respect. If you you are shopping around for the best of the best in schools, stop right here.

We took her in for a free assessment and she was well below grade level which we suspected, but they have quickly gotten her back up to speed by going back and making sure she had the fundamentals down and building from there.

This is a church and school affiliate with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). All…read morethe teachers are trained at the same college; Martin Luther College in Wisconsin. The employees of the church and school are tight knit and the education is top notch. Three recesses a day and a focus on the academic basics with an education of the Bible and Protestant Christianity. The school offers a welcome option to the consumerist, pleasure-driven, narcissistic pursuit of happiness taught in public schools. That search for the "Big Thing" out there that's going to magically be the one thing that brings happiness and satisfaction is a hopeless search. This place supports those that have found that the only thing that will fill the hole in our souls is the Holy Trinity. Biblically based school and church that we love.

Palmer Elementary was at first a great place for my daughter to come into as a 1st grade student…read more Now in to her 3rd year, we've been hearing almost daily of disruptive classmates, physical assault and inappropriate touching happening to our daughter and her friends. In the past few months 4 students have been moved to other schools by their parents due to Palmer's inability to solve these problems and to prevent their children from being assaulted further. We as well as many other parents have identified the children causing these problems, yet the school's principal is unwilling or unable to offer up any solutions. We are currently looking to transfer our daughter immediately as are other parents of children in the 3rd grade classes. We have had to consult others outside of Palmer as the head principal will not meet us in person.

Our child feels supported, seen, and excited to come to school every day--she loves learning, creating, and being herself here. DDES doesn't just focus on academics; they're helping kids learn how to be good people and make the world a better place. The teachers foster curiosity, kindness, and confidence in a way that feels both intentional and joyful. It's a place that values character, collaboration, and real-world learning--and it shows in the way the kids talk about what they're doing. We couldn't be happier to be part of this community.
