My experience here has been the worst years of my life. The teachers let bullying slip past their fingers, and if kids are confused about a certain subject and want to ask questions they start to treat you like you are 5. I hate this school and do not recommend it for anyone unless you want your kids to end up bullies.

My experience with this school has been horrible. It's been a nightmare actually. Bullying, apathetic teachers, teachers who can't seem to use proper grammar teaching my child, it goes on and on and on. Stay far far away.

There is a focus on manipulating grades for state ! The administration completely burys the bullying and even the school police officer plays it all to the center ! Nothing is ever done. , overall it starts at the top and I do not recommend this school to Anyone. What they do at wheat ridge skirts breaking the law and that's being kind! Not to mention what will happen when the kids move to high school and fail or drop out from false grades ,bulling ,self esteem problems or worse , Gardner elementary was a great school !! Wheatridge ticking time bomb in this parents opinion !! There are good teachers but their hands are tied !

Our grandson went here and, in my opinion, it has some of the most dedicated teachers and administrative staff that I've had the pleasure of knowing. Our own children went to Shawnee Mission where there are pockets of good and pockets of inadequate schools. In Gardner, the kids are more than just a number.

It used to be a high school on Gardner and then it had rebuild to a middle school. Wheatridge has great teachers with experiences and exellent programs.

The worst school I have ever had the misfortune of being stuck with for my oldest child! There is a severe bullying problem with this school that not only I have noticed. Several people I know who have their children in this school have run into the same problem & then you're stuck dealing with an administration that wants to turn the other cheek. I HIGHLY recommend NOT going to this school!

They turn the other way to bullying. They only became concerned about grades when it came to the state assestments.
