I am the oldest girl of 7 and learned much from helping my mother with my brothers and sisters. I have three children of my own and love kids. I know a great learning environment when I see one and this place is a gem! So happy we found it and that our little princess gets to experience this as her first 'school' experience. She will treasure her time at Happy Valley forever.

This school is horrible for any family that is untraditional or child may have behavior issues…read more The staff and owner are so unprofessional and disrespectful. The teachers have 80 children come in and out of their school on a weekly basis. I was asked to not speak during parent teacher conference bc there was not enough time to get thru everthing. The teachers have no real time to dedicate or give extra attention to children and families that need it. Don't send your child here just for the animals. They don't really get to interact that much with them....this preschool was a huge mistake.

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.

There wasn't any doubt that they all wanted to stay at Addenbrooke. I have kids who would do well anywhere and kids who need extra attention and motivation. This year, my son grew almost 3 grade levels in reading. He is now at grade level and ready for middle school. I cannot begin to tell you what this has done for his confidence and love for school. Teachers and admins are wonderful. Just the right amount of homework and I am continually amazed at the things they are learning.

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.

The school does know about it but they haven't done anything and won't do anything till next year. This room has been like that for years. Even worse the science department has not so great science teacher's. Out of my four years there I only met one teacher that could help when I needed help. They have amazing English teachers and FCCLA teachers are great as well. The math department has good teachers as well so does the social studies department. Except one teacher who plays favorites.

I am a student at this school and I have any opinions on it. But honestly. It's a very good school…read more My whole life I've been bullied and at this school I made so many friends and people started being so much nicer to me. And if someone tired something people wouldn't stand for it. There's great rather and art programs and also STEM programs. I've honestly had a great experience at this school. I would 100% recommend to send your kids here. From the classes to the people everything is great

Not many people were a fan of high school. Not many students would be un-biased enough to not write…read morea review based on the teacher that yelled at them or receiving their first B. I however had my fair of triumph and failure at Arvada West, and can still say that it was a great place to attend school. I felt that Arvada West really worked well on all fronts. Excluding minorities, it had people of all economic backgrounds, so no one was alienated based on their economic status. They worked well with kids ahead of and behind the curve. They stayed focused yet still offered a way to enjoy. I no longer know the administration, but I can honestly say if they are as committed to excellence now as they were then, it is a great place to send students. Sports teams are both fun and competitive, great Choir program, great student body.

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.

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.
