About the School

Schools provided these descriptions and may update them from year to year. Please contact the school directly for the most current information.

Our Approach: At Bear Valley we believe in being a school by the community, for the community. We strive to lean into Restorative Justice and Practices as well as providing robust Mental Health, Social Emotional, and Special Education programs to meet all of our students’ individual needs while empowering them to find success as members of our community and as scholars pursuing their academic goals. Our Culture & Practices: Bear Valley implements an innovative calendar which has a gradual start for grades to provide a Bear Valley Academy and provides time to create community from the first day of school.By having flexibility over PD and curriculum, Bear Valley is able to create more focused materials and staff learning/development that are inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and focused on Restorative Practices. Bear Valley’s curricular flexibility also provides the ability to give students experience with Service as Action and Mentorship learning opportunities. Students will exit our building ready for a rigorous high school experience while also fully prepared to enter into those buildings as leaders and community members with expertise in mentorship and service. Finally, Bear Valley’s flexibility as an Innovation School allows for a more devoted focus to developing a school specific discipline matrix that meets the expectations of the DPS discipline policies while also providing opportunities for healing, reintegration, and restorative practices.

Student Survey Results

The student survey, known as Your Voice / Tu Voz was completed with students in Spring of 2025. These data were obtained by a Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) request to Denver Public Schools (DPS).  Questions were sorted into topic areas based on prior DPS reports and the results we report reflect the percent of all responses that were in the top two most positive categories for each question, such as "strongly agree" and "agree".  Parent results are only presented where at least 30 responses were available.  Student results are only presented where at least 30 responses were available or the approximated response rate for the school was 50% or greater.

Unified Improvement Plan: Priority Performance Challenges

Unified Improvement Planning was introduced in 2009 to streamline improvement planning components of state and federal accountability requirements. Based on the Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids (SB212-08), the primary purpose of improvement planning is to align efforts to: Ensure all students exit the K-12 education system ready for post-secondary education, and/or to be successful in the workforce, earning a living wage immediately upon graduation. The School Finder only contains one portion of the UIP, each school's Priority Performance Challenges. To access any school's complete UIP, you can visit: School and District UIPs

Priority Performance Challenges

  • High number of behavior incidents resulting in OSS
  • Low Achievement in CMAS ELA and CMAS Math
  • High Chronic Absenteeism
