Built in 1955, Doull School is located in southwest Denver in the Harvey Park neighborhood.
The community is characterized by young families buying their first house and senior citizens. It is not uncommon for a parent to report that they attended Doull as a student when they were growing up in the neighborhood. We have many community members who regularly volunteer their time to assist the teachers in the classrooms.
Our current enrollment includes 485 students in grades ECE-5.
The ethnic breakdown of our students is approximately:
Less than 1% Native American
2.8% African American
2% Asian
87% Hispanic
9% Anglo.
Doull offers a variety of instructional services to students. We are home to two special education center programs:
In addition to our special center programs, we offer:
We are fortunate to be the home of two All-Day Kindergartens, one in English and one in Spanish, funded through the Mill Levy by the citizens of Denver.
The number of second language learners at Doull has grown significantly in the last five years. We continue to develop our Transitional Native Language Instructional delivery (TNLI) program which provides literacy instruction in both Spanish and English to our second language learners. Our goal is to help students acquire English quickly and effectively, while honoring their language of origin.
