D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School Reviews

 
I am a student at Develyn and I love it. Although there is a lot of homework the nice atmosphere and teachers creates a great learning area for seventh greaders and 12 greaders. Develyn is great for preparing students for the exciting world of college.

D'Evelyn is helping me so much with college. When I was in High School I felt like a lot of pressure and work was put on me that other students didn't have in Jeffco. Now as I am more than a month into college, I am finding that I excel over other students and that I am not working nearly as hard as them to keep up.

Bottoms up D'Evelyn is one of the best schools in the state! The kids there are polite and are not rude like some of the kids at schools in lakewood like Lakewood High school. My son went to Lakewood and it was the biggest mistake i have ever made!!!

We are proud to be the D'Evelyn Nerds!! The kids are like any other school. You have the kids who dont and wont ever do homework, and the extremely talented sports people, and the extreme nerds. The kids dress like normal kids. We have a great volleyball program, sucessful football team and so much more. I didnt chose to go here but now I wouldnt leave if I had to. It is a big adjustment but the teachers are willing to help you anytime. Seniors often help kids also which is nice because it is sometimes easier to learn from someone who is more your age!

Admission to the school is from the feeder school - Dennison or by lottery. Grades, test scores or privledge are not considered. Only addresses are checked to be sure that applicants are from Jefferson County first. There is no test or essay required as with International Baccaluarate or private schools. A liberal arts philosphy means that a rigorous core of knowlege is taught rather than a philosphy of look it up on the web. No vocational classes offered. Math and Foreign Language require a grade of C or better to advance to the next level. Hardest year is Junior year with English - Essays, history - 2 term papers, Algebra 3/Trig, Physics, Foreign Language III or IV, Elective. Senior year - AP classes or University Classes. Safety - minor infrigments dealt with consequently Not many larger problems. 60% of kids do extra curricular activites. Most Seniors graduate with some college credit.

If you want an amazing education for your child, and are fortunate enough to get picked in the lottery, this is best school around! Since they teach 7th thru 12th graders, there is a seamless transition in the school's curriculum that isn't usually seen in other schools. The students are very well behaved and generally understand that their hard work now will pay off later on in life. And the teachers are truly dedicated to the students they work with! (A blessing indeed) It is not about how smart your child currently is, but more about how willing they are to do the work. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at D'Evelyn. The teachers were great and the friendships I have from D'Evelyn are most of my closest friends to this day. While it was difficult, and made me work hard, it was all worth it. I would not have gone anywhere else.

D'Evelyn believes given the chance that every child no matter what their background can perform at higher level (gifted level). Indeed my child went from testing deficient in several areas to testing above average on her ACT scores for Colorado. The teachers care and do not hesitate to call when there is a problem. There is no level of High School education that is as good as D'Evelyn. D'Evelyn also has a brand new beautiful building. However, if your child will not get as good of a grade point average as they would get in other high schools. So when it comes time to get into college many colleges and universities do not make any allowances for that.
