    "I must say this school is by far one of the best in SE Denver. My daughter began kindergarten with Ms. Pattishaw and has excelled all school year. She is now reading at the 3rd grade level and is advanced in over half of her course work The teachers are extremely involved, kids are great and the concept is unique. She especially enjoys the ski club, demonstration nights and family events. Three cheers for Denver Green School... Hip Hip Hooray!"

    "The best school in DPS, I am convinced. Both my son and daughter attend DGS, and have since it opened last year, and we have been continually impressed by both the teaching staff and the parenting community. I am very comfortable leaving my children here every morning, I know that they are in great hands. My daughter attended another DPS school prior to coming to DGS, and the difference is amazing. Both my children are excited to go to school. Another perk is the farm attached to the school, what a fantastic thing to have the kids know and see where food comes from! DGS fosters and really cares about the community around it, and the community of the families and students, and it shows."

    "While searching for a middle school, we discovered Denver Green School. After talking to the Partners that started and run the school, we not only sent our middle school aged child, but our elementary school age child as well. We live in district at a top rated DPS school, but choiced both of our children to attend DGS. They are both in their second year at DGS and our family couldn't be happier. What stands out at DGS are the amazing teachers and staff. We are so impressed with how much our children are learning and thriving. It's also telling when your children never want to miss school. The sustainability focus and hands on learning keep the kids engaged and enables them to work together and individually when appropriate. I'm impressed with how well the teachers can handle students at different levels yet keep them all engaged and focused. I volunteer for the school and am constantly amazed with what is being accomplished. Keep in mind we only have one year of test scores and just one class that tested - I'm confident we'll improve in this area as more accurate data is available."

    "DGS has changed our family s life! Although that may seem a little dramatic, it is absolutely the case on so many levels. After attending a top ranked DPS school for K-1, we found our daughter misunderstood, defeated and uninterested in school. To be so young and have feelings of extreme diminished self-worth created by her academic performance, left us feeling scared, confused, angry and helpless as parents. No one ever wants to hear, I m stupid and dumb from your five year old child repeatedly. Enter DGS! The reasons why we chose DGS pale in comparison to the actual actions, love, care, dedication and commitment to our child. I could go on for days about the daily activities that have transformed our little one into someone who actually loves school and is loving herself. I am in awe of the Lead Partners and the group of amazing teachers that fill the halls of DGS. As parents, we are not alone, finally, in our advocacy for our daughter. Our daughter is getting an amazing education, becoming a well-rounded lifelong learner and now speaks to us about her importance within her community at DGS. Wow! Thanks DGS."

    "You can tell just by walking in the door of a school whether it gives off a good vibe or not. Walking in the door of Denver Green School, you can tell that it is a great place to be. This is my daughter's second year here, she started in kindergarten when the school opened last year. I am consistently amazed by the enthusiastic, caring teachers and administration, and their passion not only for the green school concept, but for the overall wellbeing of the students. I have found the parent community to be involved and interested in the school's success. No school is perfect. This is a neighborhood school in a neighborhood that used to be mainly older people but is seeing an influx of families. It has also become popular with parents seeking to choice in. The result of this is, as another poster mentioned, growing pains. However, the school remedied the problem of class size in the first grade classes, and there is now an assistant. While unfortunate, the delay in getting the assistant had nothing to do with fundraising being used for a garden, but was a result of internal DPS hiring processes. DGS shouldn't be faulted for that, especially given its other great qualities."
