Here in the Douglas County School District (DCSD), we have some of the most dedicated teachers, principals, and support staff who give their all each and every day to ensure that our students receive the best possible education. Because of their efforts, the 2024-2025 school year was full of celebrations!
Did You Know?
For the second year in a row, DCSD is the TOP scoring district in the Denver/Metro area!
Our graduation rate is 92.2 percent! The highest it’s been in 15 years.
DCSD is one of the only districts in the country to have met or exceeded
our 2019 (pre-pandemic!!) scores in every subject and every grade for two years in a row.
DCSD offers 76 Career and Technical Education and Concurrent Enrollment Pathways (including Trades) and is one of the leaders—nationwide— in “blurring the lines” between PK-12, higher education, and industry.
The Class of 2024 earned more than $131 million in scholarships and saved nearly $20 million in college expenses through DCSD’s concurrent enrollment partnerships and AP programming!
Award-Winning Academic Success
32 of our schools received the 2024 John Irwin Award of Excellence from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE).
9 of our schools received the 2024 Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award from CDE.
The Future is Bright!
What’s Next for DCSD?
DCSD is developing a roadmap for our school district that will prepare students to not only adapt to the pace of our ever-changing world, but to lead the change! More information will be coming your way in the coming months!
Thank you for an incredible 2024-2025 school year. We are very grateful for our students, families, teachers, staff and community members. #ProudtoBeDCSD
