Robert Anderson: From what I am reviewing about the school's test schools; this school is definitely one of the schools I will take a hard look at as my daughter searches for a good middle school that will challenge her academically.

Denver Center for International Studies
Dwight Kessler: The Post stated that Barnie Ford elementary is proposed to become Center for International Studies. Does this mean that DPS will have an elementary school designed to teach a diversity program or is this school going to be a school for 6 to 12th grades. Since my daughter, Jennifer Bartos, teaches there will they continue a music program? I would hate to see her program go, because she has been responsible for numerous students being sent to the school of the arts. Her performances have drawn the highest attendance of parents of any program offered there in the past.
