Jeffco Public Schools offers many educational options to meet the needs of our students.

Neighborhood Schools

Each neighborhood in Jefferson County has an assigned elementary, middle and high school. While all neighborhood schools share the same commitment to providing a quality education for all students, each school is unique. Each is a reflection of the students, staff and community that supports the school.
