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
- Low CMAS Math achievement for targeted disaggregated groups
- Low CMAS ELA achievement for targeted disaggregated groups
- Behavior Incidents (ISS and OSS)
