DENVER (CBS4) – Denver’s school board is under fire from a charter school director and families who say the board is playing politics with kids education. The battle comes to a head Thursday when the board will vote on whether to allow Rachel B. Noel Middle School in Northeast Denver to add a high school.
Noel is not only the top performing public school in the city, according to Denver Public Schools, it’s one of the top two in the entire state based on its growth in math and English. The school is 94% minority and 80% low income.
