What are the best schools in Denver?

EdBldgSmall:

What are the best schools and school districts in Denver? This s an often asked question from prospective home buyers, those that live in the city already and those that are relocating from out of state. And surprisingly, I get this question a lot even from buyers who do not have kids. It doesn't seem like a common question for people without kids, but great schools and school districts are starting to have more and more of an impact on resale values for homes, thus an important question for all buyers to ask.

If you ask ten parents about a school their child is at, you are likely to get ten very different answers. There are all the test scores you can look at, but that only givesyou a small snapshot of what the school offers. The best resource I have found for discovering more about a school, is the following website, click here. It includes information on test scores, custom ratings compared to the rest of the country, reviews from parents and staff, a map of the district, and more. It is a great place to start and narrow down which schools you want your future home to be in. Once you narrow down the schools you like, you can then start researching the schools further to make sure it is a perfect fit.
