At Compassion Road Academy, we are dedicated to ensuring that studentshave the support they deserve to pursue the dreams of their heart. We shares the same core values of Denver Public Schools: Students First, Integrity, Equity, Collaboration, Accountability and Fun.Some examples of how these values show up in the day-to-today operations andinteractions at our school include how our students are supported and empowered to advocate for themselves. Our Breaks for Peace system, their access to 1-1 mental health providers, restorative practices, advisement and enrichment are examples of how we put our students’ needs first. As a majority-minority school with 90% of students eligible for free-reduced lunch, equity is a value at the foundation of every system, building culture andprofessional development focus. We collaborate internally as a close-knit team whogets to know the specific strengths, challenges and needs of every single student;we also collaborate with outside resources to ensure our students have access to community resources at Denver Health, FACE, sports with other high schools and activities with our Enrichment partners. We are accountable; one of our mottos is, “if not us, then who?” We take our role as an alternative to the “traditional” high school experience very seriously. We must be the school that can come up with supports and solutions for DPS students who may not have been successful in other learning environments.
