NEW! Three years into its 5-year Strategic Roadmap, how likely is it that the Denver Public Schools will keep its commitment to raise achievement among Black students in Grades 3-8 by 10% or more by the end of the 2025-2026 school year? Data shows it’s not looking good. Read the report, the first in our DPS Commitment vs. DPS Reality Series.
We are parents of Black and Latino children, parents of children with disabilities, and allies who demand just service for our children in the Denver Public Schools. We demand an educationally just school system. We demand it NOW.
Only about 1 in 6 Black students in grades 3-8 (17%) were supported well enough by DPS to fully acquire grade-level skills and knowledge in Math during the 2023-2024 school year.
