"My daughter has been at PH for 3 years and has had an amazing experience. Every one of her teachers has greatly exceeded our expectations and she feels safe and loved by teachers and administration alike. Parents here are highly involved and make this school even better because of it. We are lucky to have such an amazing neighborhood school!"

"My children attended Park Hill Elementary for the past four years. I was fairly involved in school activities and the classroom. My opinion and experience is that they have some great teachers there and they have some that I would consider mediocre. Parent involvement and volunteering is what MAKES this school. But in the four years we were there I saw some things within the administration that was concerning and alarming. First off, police are there all the time. This is an elementary school in an affluent neighborhood. I would suspect that there is a disproportionate amount calls to the crime rate of the neighborhood. The school touts its diversity but in the end, the principal has made many decisions that leave out those minority students. I love the school, the teachers, the parents. I REALLY question the administration. Glad we have left."

"Our daughter is completing her first year at Park Hill and had a wonderful experience in full-day kindergarten. She tested into Advanced Kindergarten and was accepted at Polaris/Ebert, but we chose to keep her at Park Hill, our first choice school (we are two blocks outside of the boundaries). The teachers are caring and do a great job differentiating for kids whether they are advanced or catching up to grade level. We love the diversity of the student population and feel so lucky to be part of Park Hill!"

"Park Hill is an excellent neighborhood school serving a diverse part of Denver. Parents are highly involved, the teachers are passionate and experienced, and the school itself is a community institution. My son is highly gifted but we have chosen to keep him at Park Hill rather than send him to a charter program because of our experiences here. This is a terrific school"
