Valverde Elementary School is an inclusive, culturally diverse and response welcoming school that serves as an anchor in the Valverde neighborhood. Incredible amounts of work have been completed by leadership and teachers in order to bring Valverde Elementary School to a place where individual students and their learning are celebrated. Valverde is rated a Green School, per the Denver Public Schools SPF which is an awesome accomplishment. My two sons attend Valverde, and we choiced into the school from another neighborhood, specifically because of what Valverde has to offer. My children are loved and supported unconditionally at Valverde.

It's a shame we have this failing, out of touch school in our neighborhood. The assistant principal is totally clueless and incompetent. He has no idea how to run a school and he makes no effort to relate to Valverde's Hispanic population. Worse yet, the interim principal failed miserably at what should have been a simple task of reassuring students and parents, after losing our dedicated principal. She's mean and unreasonable, and makes no sense at all when talking about my kids.

This review of Valverde is from the past. My son was a 2nd Grader at Valverde around 1960. He had an excellent teacher and was in a gifted and talented class. I only wish his experiences had been the same at other schools as it was at Valverde.
