Accreditation
Accreditation is the Colorado Department of Education's (CDE) ongoing review of school performance. Schools must meet performance indicators for academic acheivement for all students in all curriculum areas, school safety, school and community partnerships, and financial accountability. Schools receive one of the following ratings: Accredited, Accredited-Academic Watch, Accredited-Probation or Non-Accredited. The district also recognizes schools as "accredited: high performing" when they exceed accreditation expectation for a particular school year.
