Brady Exploration School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Brady Exploration School is a public high school located in Lakewood, Colorado, serving 304 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 districts in the state.

While Brady Exploration School has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (53.95%) and a significant White population (39.8%), the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Colorado high schools, with a statewide ranking between 292 and 340 out of 349-411 schools over the past decade. The school's academic performance on standardized tests, such as the SAT, PSAT, and CMAS, lags significantly behind the district and state averages. Additionally, Brady Exploration School has a high percentage of students (51.89% to 69.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher concentration of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Alameda International Junior/Senior High School, New America School, and Jeffco Transition Services School, also have relatively low academic performance and high percentages of students from low-income families. However, Brady Exploration School consistently ranks lower than these nearby schools in the statewide rankings, suggesting that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
