About the State Ratings

  • In 2007-2008 Colorado used Academic Performance Ratings to indicate the overall academic performance of each school in the state.
  • If a school serves multiple levels of students (for example, both elementary and middle school grades), the Colorado Department of Education assigns separate Academic Performance Ratings for each level.
  • The ratings for elementary and middle schools are based upon 2007-2008 CSAP results; high school ratings were calculated using CSAP and ACT results.
  • Schools are rated as Excellent, High, Average, Low or Unsatisfactory.
