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

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!!

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 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.
