My child just completed 7th grade at Platt. It was a wonderful year for her. The school is very supportive and the core teachers made themselves available every morning for tutoring. The math and science teachers were especially supportive to struggling students. The social studies teacher, language arts/reading group helped her to really blossom this year. School became fun and she really felt successful. The librarian has made the library a welcoming place. He encourages the children, yet sets a high bar for behavior.
We have a 6th and 8th grader at Platt currently. I think Platt does a great job for a public school. The counseling staff and administration are good, and getting better with the addition of Dr. Gates as principal. The 6th and 8th grade teams are great. I was less impressed with the 7th grade team. The WEB program is wonderful and the Connect classrooms provide a nice 'home base' for students. There are countless activities and sports for kids to get involved in. Our children have tested very well and our 8th grader was accepted at a very selective private high school. I have looked into public schools in Denver and quickly discovered that we are very lucky in Boulder to have so many great choices, including Platt.
Nevin Platt appears to be a great school but fails at giving parents feedback on a timely basis if their child is struggling in a subject. I had to approach the teacher about any form of tutoring. If it weren't for the online grade postings I would have never known my child was struggling. The expectations of 6th grade teachers are not what I would expect from a middle school. It's run more like an elementary school.
