At ±«Óãtv, teachers, administrators, and all staff work hard every day to ensure students receive the best education possible. That commitment has been recognized at the state level, with several ±«Óãtv schools honored in the 2023 and 2024 Colorado Department of Education School and District Awards.
Seventeen ±«Óãtv schools and affiliated charter schools received awards for 2023 and 2024, with several earning multiple honors.
¡°It¡¯s always inspiring to see schools leading the way with innovative approaches and a deep commitment to their students,¡± said Colorado Education Commissioner Susana C¨®rdova about this year's school and district awards. ¡°The awards for these schools and districts remind us what¡¯s possible when educators, families, and communities work together to create meaningful opportunities for every learner.¡±
Schools and districts across Colorado earn these awards based on their performance across key indicators of student academic success: academic achievement, academic growth, closing academic growth gaps, and postsecondary and workforce readiness.
