The Douglas County School District is a leader in Colorado's public education, outpacing state performance in every grade and on every subject tested by the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP). Douglas County students exceed the state average by 12 to 21 percentage points. And students continue to widen the gap. Support and coordination can be found at the District level, but each school has the flexibility to build its own instructional programs. Parents can choose from open enrollment, charter schools, instruction for gifted and talented students, magnet schools, an International Baccalaureate program, Advanced Placement courses and many other special programs. And the District champions a well-researched, integrated and standards-based curriculum, a rich array of extracurricular offerings and strong community involvement.
