Samuels Elementary School Reviews

 
My son attened this school for 1 year. Staff was always nice and made me feel welcome; however, there was a lot of bully type kids. The 1st graders could be heard cussing in the lunch room. Parent involvement was very little at this school.

I am new to Denver area and new to Samuals, he school in AZ really pushed her to learn and learn she did. Now being a few months into the school year my child has had little or no homework and seems to be re-learning everything she learned in the AZ school. I have taken it apon myself to teach her after school what I feel the school is lacking. It also appears they focus on bulling (which is good) but I feel that is all they are teaching my kid. I do not see any day to day interaction that I would consider to be teaching my child. Maybe it is just the teacher I hope her ways is not how my daughters future at the school is represented

A wonderful neighborhood school

Two of my kids went to Samuels but now only 1 attends. That because she's in last year. I can't say that many great things about Samuels. They have a good share of problem children. There isn't that much parent involvement from what I can see, but I believe most of that comes from 2 working parents. One of my kids is extremely bright and we tried pointing that out to the teachers. While they said they had experience working with gifted children, it didn't seem like my child was ever challenged. The homework and the books he brought home were way below his level. We finally enrolled him in a gifted program at another school.

I had a child was very advanced and a child who was a bit behind. Samuels did their very best to help with both and kept in touch with me on what was going on. They have a great music program, gym, art, and 2 afterschool programs. Parents are encouraged to be involved with the learning process. The teachers are always willing to discuss any issues and help resolve them. All of the teachers and staff at Samuels are great.

As a new parent to the school, Samuels appears to be lacking in the availability of extracurricular activities and sports. Music/Art/Gym are offered at various times thoughout the week/month, and my child enjoys the programs. However, she is very active and outgoing, wanting to experience as much variety as she can! We feel that Samuels doesn't live up to that expection. It has been hard to 'FIND' activities - when a program IS found, usually there are fees, difficult hours, and not on campus. It is also hard to get parent involvement. Our current PTA board is doing well this year, but plans for the future are ??. I believe these issues are due mainly to language barriers. Bi-Lingual students make-up a good part of the school culture, however their parents are typically only Spanish speaking. Their added insight w/their culture would greatly enhance everyone's learning experiences!
