of 340 Colorado High Schools

Better than 2% of Colorado high schools

Summary

Bruce Randolph School serves 663 students in grades 6–12 as part of School District No. 1 in Denver, CO. It is a high-poverty school — about 88.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — and it presents an unusual profile: students graduate at remarkably high rates, but scores on state tests are very low.

The graduation rate is the school's clearest strength. At 95.9% for 2024–2025, it exceeds the district rate of 81.9% and the state rate of 85.6%, and it is higher than nearby schools like East High School (93.9%), DSST: Cole High School (79.5%), and Manual High School (78.3%). Bruce Randolph has also improved steadily from 79.5% in 2020–2021, with four consecutive years above 90%.

Academically, however, the school is far behind. Only 12.6% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 5.1% in math on CMAS tests, compared with roughly 42–45% (ELA) and 35–37% (math) across the district and state. SAT scores tell a similar story. Chronic absenteeism is also a serious challenge, affecting 51% of students. Still, English Language Learner students perform relatively better than other subgroups, and compared with nearby alternative schools like Emily Griffith High School (14.4% graduation) and Colorado High School Charter - GES (32.5% graduation), Bruce Randolph is one of the strongest at keeping students enrolled and moving them to graduation.
