DSST makes history with highest number of schools earning Green SPF rating
DSST Public Schools is excited to announce that 15 of our 16 schools have earned a Green rating on Colorado’s preliminary School Performance Framework (SPF), the highest number of Green schools in DSST history!
Why SPF ratings matter
At DSST, we believe every student deserves access to a top-quality school that prepares them for college and the 21st century. We must meet the expectations of the state of Colorado, called the SPF. For our families, results matter because they confirm that each child’s school is meeting and exceeding Colorado’s expectations in the areas that matter most:
- Academic growth: Students are learning and making strong progress each year.
- Academic achievement: Students are performing at or above grade level.
- Postsecondary readiness: High schools are ensuring students are prepared for college and career.
DSST will continue to ensure our students are growing, achieving and ready for college and career.
A record-breaking year
This year’s SPF results mark a major milestone for DSST:
- 15 out of 16 schools earned a Green rating, up from 12 last year.
- All eight DSST high schools received Green ratings.
- 7 middle schools earned Green, including two that made historic gains: Elevate MS and Aurora Science & Tech MS.
Congratulations to our Green schools!
