Welchester Elementary School

The student population at this school is challenging. Combined that with an ineffective principal and you have the worst elementary school in Golden. I'd choice enroll at another school if I had the resources to do so.

We tried for three years to turn our experience into something positive. We got involved as much as we were allowed to, and were essentially snubbed every step of the way. I used to get political with people about how these websites and test scores aren’t what really makes a good school. I would argue that we should all get involved with our neighborhood schools and work to make them better. Unfortunately, that just doesn’t seem possible. The more I try, the more I am forced to fear reconciliation for my child. Unless you are willing to keep quiet and settle for a less than mediocre elementary school education for your child, I highly recommend seeking out an alternative.

Five stars (out of five) in my book. We just transferred from a bad school experience and came into this wonderfully refreshing excellent school and support system. Thank you for being such a wonderful school for us to land in. We travel farther just to have our kids here and we wouldn’t change that a bit. We feel lucky to have found Welchester.

We're SO glad we found Welchester Elementary!
