Unified Improvement Plan Summary
In support of continuous improvement, every district and school in Colorado creates an annual academic improvement plan, called a Unified Improvement Plan (UIP). The focus of a UIP is primarily on student achievement and growth on state assessments, and student measures of success during and after high school.
At the request of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools Board of Education, the District Accountability Committee spearheaded an effort to make the Unified Improvement Plan more user-friendly to district parents. Read the UIP Summary below.
