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 achievement for K-3 SWD and Hispanic students in early literacy
- Low math achievement for SWD and Hispanic students
- Low ELA achievement for SWD and Hispanic students.
