Since it opened its doors in 1921, Morey Middle School has graduated a large and distinguished pool of alumni, perhaps the most famous of which is Madeleine Albright, the country’s first female Secretary of State. Another prominent Morey Middle School Mustang includes Marie Greenwood, one of Denver’s first African American educators who spent decades fighting segregation. Serving a student population of about 350 students in sixth through eighth grades, Morey’s mission is to provide learning that is personalized, supportive, rooted in social justice, and integrated within the local community. And while the school building itself has been upgraded for modern use, many historic features are nearly a hundred years old. The school’s auditorium walls are decorated with murals donated by classes in the 1930s. It is also one of a few schools in Denver that has a swimming pool. The Morey motto of expecting MORE: Motivated, Organized, Respectful and Empathetic students. Three pillars guide the school’s curriculum — personalization, challenge and love. With a focus on real-world application, education at Morey Middle School is driven by student interests, informed by social issues and enhanced by experiences outside the classroom.

My daughter who has trouble learning was pulled out of class and tutored. They were so inclusive and met my and my child's needs. The teachers were so responsive and nice to everyone 10/10 best school I have seen.
7/29/2024
Agree with the previous reviewer. Detentions galore, if your kiddo isn't GT they aren't seen. Very exclusionary to the kids who are. Teachers do nothing about bullying. Very bad experience.
4/24/2024
