Regional Opportunities for Thriving Schools
Regional Opportunities for Thriving Schools is Jeffco Public Schools’ response to the Board of Education’s request for a comprehensive plan to ensure thriving schools and extraordinary student experiences.
A Path Forward To Thriving Schools
The 2020 Census shows a population increase in Jefferson County of an additional 55,854 residents from 2000 to 2020. However, during this time, the population of people ages 5-19 decreased by 29,918.
The population of children five and under also decreased, and 2020 had the lowest number of births in 15 years. There are significantly fewer school-aged children in Jeffco today than 20 years ago.
