Summary

Denver Online is a district-run online school within School District No. 1 serving 611 students in grades 6–12 from the Denver area at 451 S. Tejon St., the same address as KIPP Denver Collegiate High School. Its biggest academic divide is between reading and math: SAT reading/writing scores (51) nearly match the district average (52), while SAT math scores (23) lag far behind both district and state averages, creating a 28-point gap that is the widest among nearby schools. Math proficiency sits in the single digits to low teens on state assessments, while 11th-grade science proficiency (21.1%) actually exceeds the district rate (18.2%).

The school's graduation rate for 2024–2025 is 67.6%, well below the district (81.9%) and state (85.6%), but stronger than several nearby options such as 5280 High School (47.6%) and Excel Academy (47.4%). Chronic absenteeism remains high at 56.5% — nearly double the state rate — though it improved significantly from 70.6% the year before. The dropout rate of 4.9% is about three times the state average, yet far better than Florence Crittenton High School (28.5%) and Colorado High School Charter (16.0%).

Denver Online shows wide equity gaps among student groups: low-income students rank in the 10th percentile statewide, and several subgroups fall well below the state median. It also compares interestingly with its building-mate, KIPP Denver Collegiate High School, which has weaker reading scores (29 vs. 51) but stronger math and a much higher graduation rate (88.0% vs. 67.6%). Overall, Denver Online sits in the middle of a challenging local landscape — performing better than the most at-risk alternative programs but below standouts like DSST: Cedar High School and Denver Center for International Studies.
