I have 2 children that attend Slavens. The sense of community is very strong. I feel that my kids are fourishing at this school. The parental support is what makes this school a great school. On any given day, you will see many parents volunteering their time in some fashion. Fundraising is an intrigal part of keeping this school in all the offerings that many schools must cut for budgetary reasons. We have fabulous teachers and paras. I am thrilled to have my kids at this school.

Slavens is an amazing school. They have music, drama, art physical education and more every day. DPS doesn't normally offer this so Slavens holds fund raisers to be able to pay for all these extra perks. I have two boys going there now, previously they went to a Montessori school at which they did not accelerate as well as they do at Slavens.

Two problems at this school: 1. Teachers are split and it's getting worse - those who really care and those who don't want to help the square pegs or those who need extra help. And getting extra help(accomodations or special ed) for a child is almost unheard of there - they prefer 'those' children leave. Also after second grade the whole child approach is abandoned. 2. They are test-obsessed - even more than other public schools because of the pressure from parents. Slavens is great for some kids - the round pegs - it's disappointing to waste such potential and shows poor leadership.

Our kids receive a fantastic education there - including music, drama, art, physical education every day, and a whole host of other perks Denver has cut from most of its public schools. All this is possible because of the generosity of the parent community at Slavens.

We are sending our daughter off to high school after 9 years at Slavens. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with her progress both academically and as a young lady. The school works on all aspects of a childs education, not just the academics. Art, music, athletics, and community are all important aspects of this school community.

My son was gets As and Bs at his old school. He came to slavens and is now getting D's at this school because it is so advanced. He complains about how they have to much homework and is not treated fair compaired to the other students.

The teachers at this school are excellent. Your child will never get lost in the shuffle here..they do everything they can to make sure that your child continuously improves and the expectations are high. They also communicate with parents quite well and involve them in the strategies they are using in class, so parents can reinforce them at home. We are TOTALLY IMPRESSED by the experience we have had so far. Thank you Slavens staff - you rock!
