Jeffco Public Schools Earn 45 CMAS-Based Academic Awards
Posted on 12/15/2017

Thirty-five district schools earned 45 academic awards from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) based on 2016-17 Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) results. Dr. Jason Glass, Superintendent of Jeffco Public Schools, was thrilled to be notified of these awards.

“I am so proud of these schools and all their accomplishments! Schools in Jeffco brought home recognition for high academic performance, high academic growth, and for closing achievement gaps and giving all our students an opportunity to succeed,” Dr. Glass said. “The number of awards for this year was even higher than the year before and exceeded our expectations. Hats off to the staff and students working in Jeffco Public Schools!”

Two Jeffco schools received the Center of Excellence Award this year: Pennington Elementary and Kullerstrand Elementary. This award recognizes Colorado public schools that enroll a student population of which at least 75 percent are at-risk pupils and that demonstrate the highest rates of student longitudinal growth, as measured by the Colorado Growth Model.

The John Irwin Schools of Excellence Award is given to schools that demonstrate excellent academic achievement over time with exceptional performance in math, English language arts, and science. There are 27 Jeffco schools that received the award this year. See the list of recipients below.

The Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award is given to schools that demonstrate exceptional student growth. There are 15 Jeffco schools that received the award this year, exceeding expectations on the academic achievement indicator. See the full list of recipients below.

Additionally, Evergreen High School received the High School Academic Growth Award. This award recognizes high schools that demonstrate the highest levels of students’ academic growth in reading, writing, and math, within each classification used by the statewide association for high school activities for the sport of football.
