Welcome to
 School Turnaround

West Denver Network Schools

West Denver Network Schools are a diverse group of schools that includes five schools funded by federal turnaround dollars, three schools in the Lincoln Collaborative, and two schools undergoing transformation.

We have all levels represented, as well: three elementary schools, two middle schools, one K-8, one K-9 (which will become K-12), three high schools, one of which will begin phasing in two 6-12 academies next year.

We also have many interesting programs: a Montessori school, an International Baccalaureate school, and an arts school.

 

OUR VISION is to have all network schools meet district expectations on the School Performance Framework.
