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.

Improvement planning & attendance

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

  • Academic Achievement SAT RW and Math
  • Low Student Engagement
  • Graduation & Dropout Rates
