On August 30, 2017, the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) released the preliminary School Improvement Frameworks for schools across Colorado. Schools are assigned plan types based on their performance. Performance is based on academic achievement and longitudinal academic growth.

Based on performance, CDE assigns one of the following plans to schools:

  1. Performance Plan
    The school meets or exceeds statewide attainment on the performance indicators and is required to adopt and implement a Performance Plan.
  2. Improvement Plan
    The school is required to adopt and implement an Improvement Plan.
  3. Priority Improvement Plan
    The school is required to adopt and implement a Priority Improvement Plan.
  4. Turnaround Plan
    The school is required to adopt and implement a Turnaround Plan.

This year all three Jefferson Area elementary schools improved and moved up to the next plan level. Molholm Elementary School made the largest jump, moving from Priority Improvement Plan to Performance Plan.

Our goal is to see all the elementary schools continue to improve and move to Performance Plan.

Great work teachers, staff, parents and students!
