As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS SCHOOLS GOOD DPS RATINGS. Looking at their ratings compared to all of Colorado middle schools you can how they are in fact a HORRIBLE SCHOOL. They do not comply with 504 Plans. It is impossible to get ahold of anyone. Teacher ignore all emails, messages, notes, etc. My son had over $100 worth of stuff stolen from his backpack that he was told to leave in the classroom. The room was left unattended and unlocked. Among returning he immediately told both teachers and they did not care. They very easily could have asked the classroom to open their bags or even addressed the issue but instead they brushed it off and did nothing. He told them again the next day and a 3rd time and again nothing. He then went above then and reported it to the front desk "office" who did nothing. The next day he told them again and they told him to tell another person. He told that person who again did nothing. No report no noting that it happened, nothing. It turns out they have a big theft problem but no one outside of school knows that because it is never reported or addressed to parents. When their tiny laptops that the school makes each student pay $750 for over a 3 year period( that they don't get to keep and have to pay ridiculous prices for any and all repairs) get stolen you the parent has to pay hundreds of dollars to replace. These are the same computers that they are told to leave in the room when they leave the class room during the day yet they don't lock the doors. This is the least of the schools problem though. The list is endless. RUN DONT WALK AWAY FROM THIS NIGHTMARE OF A SCHOOL! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
