Bromwell Elementary School

It's a great neighborhood school with high parental involvement, caring teachers and acheives high test results. My son is a graduate of Bromwell.

I have actually found the opposite. When, I went to find a playgroup for my younger child with Bromwell families I found that most of them are working professionals. However, they continue to support the school, and take time out of their busy schedule to participate. Bromwell receives less federal funding than most schools because most of the student body does not qualify for federal funding. Most of the money for extra programs like art, music and the library/media center comes from fundraising. We are not wealthy and have not found discrimination from the parents, students or teachers/administration. In fact, we have found most everyone to be friendly and supportive.

My child entered Bromwell in the 3rd grade. I agree, it is hard to enter a school later and bond with other parents. And yes, some of the parents were snobby. But not most. And we did okay and made some good friends. Also we were not rich Cherry Creek residents. We choiced our child in and got lucky. My child had been behind due to a faulty private school K-2. She was brought up to speed and then some by Bromwell. Without Bromwell I don't know if she would be graduating 5th grade this year with A's. The field trips at Bromwell are awesome! The teachers and principal are top notch. The expectations are high but realistic and achievable. There is an extremely high level of involvement by moms AND dads. Bromwell saved my kid. Truly a GREAT SCHOOL!

Social injustice? That seems a bit extreme. We're a new family at Bromwell and have nothing but good things to say. We knew no one, and we were welcomed - but we got involved right away and introduced ourselves. Parents are involved, and realize that they can help make the school a better experience for their kids. The teachers and administration are great, but parents have to be engaged, and they are. Don't mistake engagement for snobbiness. Furthermore, being sterotyped as rich or 'stay at home moms' is reverse discrimination. I work, lots of us work. And I have to say, it's not the principal's job to force other families to be friends with you. It's a great school and I hope you learn to have a more positive experience. If you think there aren't parents with attitude at any school in the district, think again. Good luck to you.
