Everitt Middle School

fantastic school and staff - there is a big focus on kids being active and having a positive attitude. My son is new to the school and is absolutely thriving. I highly recommend Everitt Middle School!

I have two children attending Everitt. I think Everitt Middle School is great because of the staff! The teachers are very supportive and encourage the students by supporting their learning after school and working with parents to ensure students are learning. I know that if my children are having difficulties I will be notified promptly. Kudos to all the staff at Everitt Middle School! Keep up the good work!

My daughter, who is part of the D/HH group at Everitt received a prize on Friday. When I asked her about the prize she went into great detail about the Everitt ticket incentive program where the teachers reward students for displaying one of the core Everitt values; Education, Value, Expectations, Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Trust. She was able to articulate each teacher and the value that she was recognized for demonstrating. It was an amazing feeling, as a mom, to experience the pride and joy for her to be recognized and empowered by the teachers. Probably why she wants to be an educator herself....Amazing school!

When we moved to Wheat Ridge in the middle of my son's 7th grade year, I was warned by everyone I talked to not to send my child here. However, really wanting a neighborhood school, I met with the counselor anyway. It was the best decision ever! The feel of the school from the moment I waslked in was incredible The counselor was amazing and I knew where I would send my son. My son has a processing disorder and is on an IEP. Our experience thus far is best described as a battle. His previous school had removed all but one of his accomdations in his IEP. The IEP administrator took his time when we met and put all of them back in. I was still wary based on our past experiences but the support was amazing. For the first time, I actually got to relax and the school took charge. The teachers were incredible and very helpful. One of them called me at home on a Sunday evening to see if I thought an idea she had would work for my son. That has never happened before!Mr. Gomez, the principal, is awesome! One of the other reveiws mentioned that leadership goes from the top down and I wholeheartedly agree. It is very evident at this school. I like the way the staff encourages pride and responsibility for your school. Haven't seen that in a while...My son said yesterday "I wish I was back at Everitt". He is now at the high school and the level of support has dropped to a very low level. The teachers are great but the support staff is seriously lacking. My son had the chance to be successful at Everitt and now we're back to the usual battle which affects his confidence. My 5 star rating for Everitt is based on our experience from admission to 8th grade graduation. From the principal to the office staff to the teachers. Everyone did what they could to help my son succeed. The best compliment ever is from my son, who wants to go back to Everitt! Thank you to all who supported my son!! It can be a thankless job, but you made a big difference in his life!
