Overview
- Two-thirds of schools and 55% of districts earned high ratings in the state’s preliminary 2024-25 accountability data.
- Districts on the accountability clock increased to 14 from 11, while the number of schools on the clock fell to 176 from 190.
- Denver Public Schools received its first green district rating since 2019 and now counts 23 schools on the clock, down from 25, with 11 schools exiting.
- Ratings shifted unevenly across the state, with Westminster and Montezuma-Cortez back on the clock, Adams 12 and District 49 dropping from green to yellow, and Manitou Springs D-14 earning Accredited with Distinction.
- Local responses are taking shape, including DPS’s School Transformation Process for persistently low-rated schools and Rocky Mountain Prep saying it will not participate in that process.
