Both of my boys have attended Shelton Elementary and it seems to get better and better every year!…read moreThe kids have so many opportunities here, they have wonderful programs to keep kids moving, they don't over do it with fundraisers , and last year the kids even got to get slimed by Nickelodeon for their National Day of play. 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!

I'm greatful for being able to count on each one and know they will be there. I'm thankful my sister recommended this school to me I would definitely recommend to anyone else. I also like that they take covid seriously. It's reassuring. They are always concerned about your kids well being and accommodate to any needs you may have. The best encounters I've had is with Kathy in the office, the principal, Kathy the nurse and Mrs Fish, Mr Ritz, and Mrs Carri.

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.

I attended Rooney Ranch about 14 years ago myself, and had an amazing elementary experience. My…read moresiblings also now attend Rooney Ranch and the school itself is amazing. But the past couple years they have had issues with Mrs. Mikel. We have never had any issues with bullying, let alone any issues at all. They have been coming home mopey and rather sad most days because they feel bullied by their own teacher. It was hat day at school and Mrs. Mikel was giving the kids a treat for wearing hats and gave all the kids a treat accept my brother. I'm not sure if it was because his hat was from our church or what the case may be but that is one way to make a kid feel less than the others. He was so crushed that "Mrs. Mikel doesn't like him". And that's just one scenario of many. But being a teacher of such young kids, it's especially important to make them all feel valued, and that's not happening in her classroom whatsoever. I am not a person to complain but this is getting out of hand and it's effecting my brother at home now. Just think about how your actions affect the littles, you're supposed to be their safe space, not a place where they dread to be.

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.
