Eagleton Elementary School

School Description

Located in the Barnum Park area of NW Denver, Eagleton is a neighborhood school with a population of approximately 425 students from ECE (4year olds), 2 full day kindergartens and 1st to 5th grade. As a TINLI (Transitional Native Language Instruction) school we provide instruction in Spanish as needed and daily English language development instruction. Additionally, Eagleton is a center school for the Multi-Intensive Autism Program for students in grades 1 and 2.

Eagleton students receive a strong, standards-based education in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies and science. Literacy is a priority at Eagleton so that students gain the necessary knowledge and skills to become successful readers and writers.

Our mathematics curriculum is progressive and diverse. Everyday Math is the curriculum we have been using for many years and our scores continue to improve as we gain more parent support and additional math related activities.

Of special interest to many parents is Eagleton’s low-cost after school care, Fit Fun, which offers high quality homework support, nutritional snacks, board games fun and the use of the playground or gymnasium for physical activity. Additionally, the Rotary Club provides a variety of support to develop self-directed, well-rounded students with programs like Brain-Wise.
