Annual Report
Each year, school districts in Colorado are required to report school performance to the community, as required by No Child Left Behind. Because this required information is available on the Colorado Department of Education’s website, districts are no longer required to produce an individual annual report to the public.
Instructions on accessing school and district performance are available below. If you do not have access to the Internet or would prefer to receive a hard copy of this information from the district, contact Sue Parker in the Superintendent’s Office at (720) 972-4005.
Here’s how to access school/district performance information:
- Visit the SchoolView Data Center. School districts are on the page, in alphabetical order.
- Click the arrow next to the district name to display schools in a district. Tabs across the top of the page assist users in navigating through the different data sets.
