Fall 2014
Overview of the Strategic Regional Analysis (SRA)
2
The Strategic Regional Analysis (SRA) is a key planning document that supports the Denver Plan 2020 goal of having
at least 80% of students attending SPF green or blue schools in every region. The SRA details the current state of
school performance and capacity by region and identifies the gaps for each. This document is intended to identify the
areas in need of additional quantity of seats, quality of seats, or both.
A key subsequent process to the SRA is the Call for New Quality Schools that invites applications to open new schools
that will address the gaps identified in this report.
Alignment to the Denver Plan
Demographic/Capacity gap: compares the number of DPS students today (and forecast in 5 years) to the number of
seats available in the region. The forecast is updated once a year in the spring.
Capture gap: identifies whether students are leaving the region for other offerings, indicating a potential need for
school improvements and/or new/different offerings targeted to attract and retain students.
Performance gap: identifies gaps in the performance of the schools in the region.
Gaps in ECE: identifies unmet demand for preschool services; the mill levy has prioritized funding for expanding
access to preschool seats.
Gaps in secondary specialized programs: identifies gaps in intensive pathway options, recognizing that the needs
of students who are off-track are not all the same.
Organization of Regional Gaps
Tiered Support Framework
The Tiered Support Framework process prioritizes and addresses performance gaps, including
those highlighted in the SRA, for our most struggling schools through: – An annualized process that provides early warning indicators for identifying and tiering our most struggling schools
– A consistent set of data-driven criteria for all school types (district-managed, innovation, charter) that includes SPF
data as well as other indicators correlated to student outcomes.
– A data-driven framework for aligning intensive supports and/or intervention decisions with proactive
communications and annual progress monitoring
The Tiered Support Framework tiering and recommendations will be presented in November

Preschool capacity Though 150 seats have been added or approved to
the region through new capacity, a shortage

both approved to open.
Middle School seating capacity Opening of a new school may be delayed until 2016
High School seating capacity Adequate program capacity once the East Quad is
complete.
Off-track offerings Legacy IP HS may be postponed to open until
2016, but will then meet demand needs.

Regional Overview: Residential development will lead to continued enrollment growth going forward, necessitating
further capital investments to meet demand. Programs already approved will provide adequate capacity to the region
through 2017. Performance issues remain at the elementary level, particularly in Montbello. Choice data shows families
are staying in the region at the secondary level as a result of higher performing schools.

Enrollment in FNE Schools Percent of FNE Students
Leaving the District
FNE has experienced strong enrollment trends for the past several years, though 2013 is the first year where some trends are beginning to
slow at middle school.
FNE enrollment continues to increase at transition grades, though growth appears to be slowing at 6th grade.
Since 2011, about 200 more 6th grade students and about 325 more 8th grade students have enrolled in a FNE school.
In addition to more students enrolling in a FNE school, fewer families are leaving the district at transition grades.
It’s important to note that, similar to 6th grade enrollment trends, there was a slight increase in 5th grade families leaving the district for 6th grade
in 2013.

2,400 students by 2018
The majority of the forecasted growth in the FNE will be east of Chambers Road and primarily due to increased student
yields in existing homes and new residential developments.
Gateway (FNE-C), is forecasted to increase 1,463 students, with an increase of 743 students in GVR (FNE-B) by 2018.
At the middle and high school levels in Montbello, DPS will see enrollment gains as capture rates continue to improve as
improvements of FNE schools continue.

Leaving the District
Over the past few years, there has been little change in enrollment behavior in the NNE.
NNE has the highest percent of students who attend a school in their region (87% vs. 78% district average in 2013).
About 14% of 5th graders leave the district for 6th grade and this has remained fairly constant over the past few years. Park Hill has seen
declines going into 6th grade, but as a result of McAuliffe relocating to the Smiley Campus, the 2014 first round of Choice data shows that more
students will now be joining the district than leaving at this transition grade.
For 8th graders, there was a steady decline in students leaving the district for the past several years, but in 2013 there was an increase.

2018 Forecast: Driven by continued residential development in Stapleton, NNE
student population will increase by about 2,400 students
By 2018, there will be about 2,400 more students living in the NNE (10% growth from 2013).
Stapleton (NNE-D) accounts for 83% of the total growth in the region and represents the largest growth in the district (2,016 additional students by
2018), driven by roughly 300-400 additional units closing each year through 2018.
NNE-E will experience growth primarily as a result of the Buckley Annex development (364 additional students in 2018).
Other areas with high growth are the north Park Hill area (NNE-B), primarily due to a new low-income residential development near the Park Hill golf
course. Otherwise, Park Hill is showing minimal growth.
NNE-F shows more stable growth from 2013 to 2018 as the effects of new developments are leveling off (34 student increase).

NNE Middle School Performance
Gaps
1. The % of students attending a red/orange school in the NNE is the same as last year.
2. Since 2012, Morey dropped from SPF green to SPF yellow to SPF orange. School leadership has been replaced in 2014.
3. Denver Public Montessori opened SPF red, particularly due to low growth scores
Additional Observations
1. 65% of seats are blue/green in 2014 versus 67% in 2013.
2. To address regional performance concerns, Smiley MS closed in 2013-14 and Venture Prep MS is closing after 2014-15.
3. There was a slight increase in of students in blue and green seats; overall there continues to be a decline in green seats
and the orange and red seat are staying the same.

Gentrification that started in the Highlands continues to move both
north and south of that neighborhood. This tends to drive low-income
families out of the area and higher-income families into newly-
developed, higher-cost units. This trend often leads to lower student
yields in the area, and ultimately, lower student enrollment (as seen
in NW-E, NW-F, and NW-B).
ES: +4%
+399
HS: +7%
+284
MS: +7%
+248
In NW-C, the residential development on the former St. Anthony’s hospital site, along with the Sun Valley mixed-income
developments will drive increases in enrollment. However, as the Highlands gentrification continues to move south, this may off-
set enrollment increases beyond 2018 (see subsequent slides for additional information).
In NW-D, there were large increases in student population over the years, will still show some growth by 2018, but start to level off.

2011 2012 2013
Enrollment in SE schools has steadily climbed over the past several years (+192 6th grade students or +27%, +112 9th
grade students or +14%).
Fewer students are leaving the district at transition grades, with about a 3 percentage point decline for 5th graders and
2 percentage point decrease for 8th graders.
– Though these are positive trends, these are also the highest rates in the district.
Students living in the SE also have the highest percentage of students attending their boundary school (63% in 2013,
compared to 50% at the district level).
2018 Forecast: SE student population is expected to grow 3%, or about 350
students, by 2018
The DU area (SE-A) shows little to no growth at all education levels, as the growth in the area has leveled off and may
continue to decline (13 more students by 2018).
– As current homes are renovated into new higher-priced homes, there is likely to be a reduction in the number of school-aged children
living in this area.
The SE-B area is experiencing growth from increased capture rates at the elementary level. With DSST: Byers and
performance improvement at Merrill, there will likely also be gains at the secondary level.
In SE-C, there was large growth in elementary age students over the past few years, which is likely to continue at all
education levels by 2018 (total increase of 202 students).
