However, all three of these schools have different attendance areas, e.g. Whittier is fully enrolled with a waiting list at most grades.Īctually, it is the same for Fairview and Centaurus. All others must apply for whatever reamining slots there are. Whittier has an attendance area, which means anyone who lives in the AA can go there w/o going through the open enrollment process. There are some priorities in assinging the students.

Would we have to live in that neighborhood to send our child there or could we live in the county (and maybe find cheaper housing)?Īll schools throughout Colorado have open enrollment, meaning anyone can apply. Any other suggestions?Īfter looking more at Boulder, I can see Whittier International School as being of interest (also seems to have a diverse student population). So far it seems we should be looking at Boulder & Stapleton. Home prices are a little on the expensive side in Park Hill (you're paying for the charm of the quaint brick houses), but with a little luck (and work) you should be able to get a 3-4 bedroom for under $400,000. There is also a private International School right nearby if you'd be interested in that. I'm not sure about elementary IB programs-I haven't heard of any-but Park Hill Elementary is excellent and very diverse. Smiley Middle School in Park Hill has an IB program, as does George Washington H.S., which is the area's H.S. There are many Ethiopian restaurants nearby on Colfax Avenue. Residents tend to be very diverse, progressive, and well-educated.

We used to live there and I loved walking to the grocery store and around the neighborhood. Lots of huge old oaks overhang the streets, and it's one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Denver. It's an older, established neighborhood about 15 minutes east of downtown Denver. It's probably the community near the zoo you were talking about, as it's just east and within walking distance of City Park, the Zoo, and the museum of Nature and Science. Prices are higher to the north, the default grade school for that area is not great, but the middle school which is Morey and East High School are diverse and well ranked schools.Īfter reading your post the neighborhood that immediately came to mind was Park Hill. To the west of the park is the City Park West neighborhood. The neighborhood around the zoo that you were probably referring to is called the City Park Neighborhood if it was just to the south of the park. I enjoyed my 4 years there and as soon as I could I ran from Boulder and I believe that I could live the rest of my life never going back. I would not recommend Boulder to anyone who is not a student. The default high school for the neighborhood is George Washington which has a nationally recognized and ranked IB program. Stapleton has a dog park along with numerous other parks of all sizes, miles of biking and riding trails, good schools, is a walkable neighborhood and has tons of children. There are dozens of Ethiopian restaurants in Denver, not three or four.

Stapleton is in your price range or close to it, is near the heart of the Ethiopian community which runs mostly along Colfax from Syracuse to Colorado Blvd. We also have 2 big dogs (so an area where we could take nice walks would be nice). We would probably be looking for a home in the $350,000- 400,000 range. However, we have no idea on affordability. We liked the Boulder area and saw a nice community near the zoo (don't know the name). My dh is completing his MBA and I'm a therapist. We are willing to commute (within reasonable distance). To be honest, the schools are probably the most important and finding a friendly neighborhood. We are an Interracial family and don't won't to live somewhere where we will be stared out or made to feel we do not belong 1) good IB programs for our soon to be 11th grader and our kindegartener (their age difference means being able to find a primary and HS IB program in the same town).Ģ) An International community of sorts where we can still practice some of our hard earned foreign language skills (we speak French and German at home)Ĥ) A certain degree of diversity.
