NEW: In the 2023-2024 school year, the Denver Public Schools supported just 9% of students with disabilities in grades 3-6 in becoming grade-level literate. That was up 2% from 2022, but can DPS make the gains it promised by the end of the 2025-2026 school year? Read the report, the second 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.
