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 Outstanding!!! Child’s scores went up 30 after moving from Arvada neighborhood Jeffco school. Teachers are much more engaged and seem like they want to be there, not the walking dead like Jeffco. Brand new state of the art building and facilities top it off! PBL based learning model has significant advantages over older, traditional models. Great environment to challenge gifted kids with real world problems. Zero bullying, no disciplinary problems or concerns. Test scores and outcomes far exceed all state averages and all averages for every district in CO. Ranked in upper 10 of all schools, should be much higher. Close Quote

Open Quote Challenging, welcoming, majority of the students are well-behaved (no appreciable bullying) and the staff is awesome and engaged. Everyone wants to be there. Curriculum based on PBLs is outstanding and the scores prove it out. 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.
