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 the Communications Department Office at (719) 538-1334.
How to access district/school performance information:
- Visit the SchoolView Data Center.
- To view individual schools and their data, click on the 'View School List' text link in the grey box at the top of the page and select a school.
