Open Quote We chose Wyatt for their small class size, diversity, excellent teachers and leadership. Our student loves going to school everyday and has grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically. Close Quote

Open Quote I absolutely love Wyatt Academy. This year Wyatt was GREEN on the Denver Public Schools SPF, and it had the highest growth of ANY school in DPS! Our kids, teachers, and staff are incredible. The teachers and admin make the school such a welcoming and safe place. My kids love going to school each day. They are challenged, but also have time for fun and friendship. We love Wyatt!! Close Quote

Open Quote As aformer teacher, I can personally state that the problems at Wyatt start at the top. the Board does not know how to support the school, the administration is being replaced yearly, and there is no curriculum (teachers must create and write their own curriculum). Teachers are poorly supported, constantly told they are not doing enough, drilled about data daily, and blamed for the failures of the school. Collaboration does not exist. Add to this the fact that the building is old and decaying,and infested with mice, rats and cockroaches. This school should have been closed years ago. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
