CO SAT: represent outcomes for designated subjects and student groups; participation rates count parent excusals as non-participants. For the 1-year report, calculations are based on 2025 state assessment results. Multi-year reports include 2023-2025 results. Cut-scores for the multi-year reports were re-normed based on 2025 results. Dropout Rates: represent percentages of students enrolled in grades 7-12 for districts and 9-12 for schools at any time during the year who left and did not subsequently enroll in another Colorado school. 1-Year calculations are based on the 2024 End of Year (EOY) data submission. Multi-year reports include 2022 through 2024 records. Matriculation Rates: represent percentages of high school graduates with a qualifying credential, enrollment, or enlistment status in a Career & Technical Education (CTE) program, a 2- or 4-year institute of higher education, a branch of the military, or a postsecondary program. Beginning in 2024, high school graduates who were enrolled in ASCENT, P-TECH, or TREP programs (i.e., Postsecondary Program) during their 5th year of high school count as successes. 1-Year calculations are based on the 2024 graduation cohort. Multi-year reports include 2022 through 2024 records. Graduation Rates: represent percentages of students graduating high school within designated timeframes. Ratings are based on the best of the 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-year graduation rates. AYGs designate Anticipated Years of Graduation, which are defined as four years after the year that students initially enroll in 9th grade. Calculations for 1-Year and Multi-Year reports are based on data for students with AYGs between 2021 and 2024.

DENVER METRO Denver County
DENVER COUNTY: Denver County, formally the City and County of Denver, is a consolidated city-county and the capital of Colorado. It is also the state’s most populous city. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated Denver County’s population at 740,613 as of July 1, 2025, up from 729,019 in 2024 and 715,522 at the 2020 Census. An official 2026 Census estimate is not yet available, so any 2026 figure should be labeled as a projection. Denver is located in north-central Colorado, in the South Platte River Valley, near the western edge of the High Plains and just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Downtown Denver sits near the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, about 12 miles east of the Rocky Mountain foothills. The city is named for James W. Denver, a former governor of the Kansas Territory. Denver is widely known as the Mile High City because its official elevation is one mile, or 5,280 feet, above sea level at the Colorado State Capitol. Another geographic quirk: the 105th meridian west, a reference line for the Mountain Time Zone, passes through Denver Union Station. Very on-brand for a city that casually turns geography into personality. Denver anchors the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metropolitan area, which had about 3.05 million residents according to ACS 2024 one-year data, and it serves as the central city of the broader Front Range urban region. The Globalization and World Cities Research Network classifies Denver as a Beta-minus world city in its 2024 ranking, reflecting its role as an important regional center connected to the global economy.
COLORADO COUNTY OVERVIEW
HISTORY
The land that is now Denver lies within the traditional homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and other Indigenous peoples. Under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, the United States recognized a large Cheyenne and Arapaho territory stretching from the North Platte River to the Arkansas River, including the area of modern metropolitan Denver. After gold was discovered in the Rocky Mountains in 1858, however, thousands of white settlers and prospectors entered the region, increasing pressure to reduce Indigenous treaty lands. During the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, prospectors from Lawrence, Kansas, established Montana City along the South Platte River in 1858. It was the first settlement in what would become Denver, but it was quickly abandoned in favor of nearby Auraria and St. Charles City. On November 22, 1858, land speculators William Larimer Jr. and Jonathan Cox claimed land near the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek, across from Auraria. Larimer named the new settlement Denver City in an attempt to gain favor with Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver, though Denver had already resigned. The early town grew as a frontier supply and service center for miners, with an economy built around trade, livestock, saloons, gambling, and transportation. In 1861, the Colorado Territory was created, Arapahoe County was formed, and Denver City was incorporated. That same year, the Treaty of Fort Wise sharply reduced Cheyenne and Arapaho lands, a move many tribal members opposed. Tensions escalated into the Colorado War of 1864–65, including the Sand Creek Massacre, in which U.S. forces attacked Cheyenne and Arapaho people. By the late 1860s, treaties and military pressure had forced most Indigenous people from the Denver area. Denver became the acting territorial capital in 1867 and was chosen as Colorado’s permanent state capital in 1881. Colorado became a state on August 1, 1876, and Denver’s location helped it grow into a major commercial hub for the Rocky Mountain West. Railroads were crucial to Denver’s growth. When the first transcontinental railroad bypassed the city through Cheyenne, Wyoming, Denver leaders raised funds to build a connecting line. The Denver Pacific Railway reached the transcontinental line in 1870, securing Denver’s future as a regional transportation, supply, and business center.
DENVER METRO Denver County
DENVER COUNTY Cont... By the late nineteenth century, Denver was booming. Wealth from mining, railroads, and commerce brought grand hotels, mansions, theaters, and business blocks, including landmarks associated with figures such as Horace Tabor. At the same time, rapid growth also brought poverty, crime, political corruption, and social tension. The Silver Crash of 1893 triggered an economic depression, while immigrant workers, African Americans, Hispanic residents, and other communities shaped the city’s expanding population. Denver also became known for civic and social innovation. In 1887, local religious leaders founded an organization to coordinate charitable giving and assist the poor; it later became part of what is now United Way. Between the 1880s and 1930s, Denver’s floriculture industry flourished, a period locally known as the Carnation Gold Rush. In 1902, voters approved home rule, creating the modern City and County of Denver and separating it from Arapahoe and Adams counties. In the early twentieth century, Denver continued to grow as a business, transportation, and cultural center, though it also reflected national tensions, including racism, labor unrest, anti-immigrant sentiment, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado politics. From 1953 to 1989, the Rocky Flats Plant northwest of Denver produced plutonium components for nuclear weapons. Fires, leaks, and contamination at the site led to decades of environmental and public health concern. In 1970, Denver was selected to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, intended to coincide with Colorado’s centennial. However, in 1972, Colorado voters rejected public funding for the games, largely because of cost and environmental concerns. The Olympics were moved to Innsbruck, Austria, making Denver the only city to reject the Olympics after being selected as host.
COLORADO COUNTY OVERVIEW
Denver has hosted major national and international events, including the Democratic National Convention in 1908 and 2008, as well as World Youth Day in 1993, which drew hundreds of thousands of visitors. In 2010, the city adopted a major update to its zoning code to guide future growth and development. Historically, Denver has been known as the Queen City of the Plains and the Queen City of the West, reflecting its role as a gateway between the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. Several U.S. Navy ships have also been named USS Denver in honor of the city.
GOVERNMENT
Denver is a consolidated city and county with a nonpartisan elected mayor, auditor, clerk and recorder, and a 13-member City Council. The current mayor is Mike Johnston. The Denver City Council serves as the city’s legislative branch. It includes 11 district representatives and two at-large members. Council members pass and amend laws, approve the city budget, oversee zoning matters, and may investigate city agencies and officials. Elected officials serve four-year terms and are limited to three terms. Denver has a strong mayor–council form of government. The mayor oversees city administration, prepares the budget, signs contracts, appoints department leaders, and may approve or veto council legislation. The City Council can override a mayoral veto with nine of its 13 votes and may amend the city budget by majority vote. The elected auditor reviews city spending and promotes accountability in city government. Denver’s Department of Public Safety oversees major public safety agencies, including police, fire, sheriff, 9-1-1, and community corrections. The Denver County Court functions as both a municipal and county court and is administered by the City and County of Denver rather than the state.
DENVER METRO Denver County
DENVER COUNTY Cont... NEIGHBORHOODS
Denver also has a number of commonly recognized districts and neighborhood names that do not always match the city’s 78 official statistical neighborhood boundaries. These areas may reflect historic districts, resident identity, registered neighborhood organization boundaries, business or creative districts, or names popularized through development and real estate. Well-known examples include LoDo, short for Lower Downtown, a historic district largely within the Union Station statistical neighborhood; Uptown, commonly associated with North Capitol Hill and the 17th Avenue corridor; Curtis Park, part of the greater Five Points area; Alamo Placita, a historic district and neighborhood association area within the Speer statistical neighborhood; Park Hill, long known for its history of organized community efforts around racial integration; and the Golden Triangle, a cultural district historically associated with Denver’s Civic Center area.
COLORADO COUNTY OVERVIEW
One of Denver’s newer planned communities, now known as Central Park, was built on the former Stapleton International Airport site. The airport and former neighborhood name referred to Benjamin Stapleton, a former Denver mayor who had ties to the Ku Klux Klan. In 2020, after years of debate, the community voted to change the neighborhood name from Stapleton to Central Park. Central Park is a large planned community and is often described as containing 12 internal sub-neighborhoods.

DENVER COUNTY Cont... FUN FACTS
Denver International Airport is massive: in 2025, it served 82.4 million passengers, ranking as the 4th busiest airport in the U.S. and 10th busiest in the world. DEN is also the largest airport site in North America and the second-largest in the world. The airport’s famous white tent roof is not just pretty — it covers about 240,000 square feet, is held up by 34 masts, and is large enough to cover more than four football fields. Denver owns a huge mountain park system outside the city: about 14,000 acres, including 22 accessible parks and 24 conservation areas across three counties. That means Denver has a backyard that basically moonlights as a postcard. Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre is owned and operated by the City and County of Denver. The site may have been home to dinosaurs 160 million years ago, and today it is one of the world’s most famous outdoor music venues. Denver Parks and Recreation maintains two conservation bison herds at Genesee Park and Daniels Park. The herds descend from some of the last wild bison in North America, and Denver has helped conserve them for more than a century.

Planning to sell. A homeowner’s checklist to prepare your home.
So you’re planning to sell your home. You and your real estate broker have decided on a price, based on current market values, but your home may sell faster and bring a higher price if it shows well. Potential buyers will get the best impression if your home is clean, neat, uncluttered, in good repair, light, airy, fragrant, and quiet. This checklist will help you get your home ready to show. Clean everything in you home.
Unclutter your home before you show it.
Cleanliness signals to a buyer that the home has been well cared for and is most likely in good repair. A messy or dirty home will cause prospective buyers to notice every flaw.
Have a garage sale. Empty closets. Throw away what you can’t sell. The less “stuff” in and around a home, the roomier it will seem.
Let the fresh air in. Get rid of odors that may be unfamiliar or unpleasant. People are most often offended by odors from tobacco, pets, cooking, and musty or sour laundry. Fresh flowers and potpourri can be used to your advantage. Other smells that attract positive attention include fresh baked bread and cinnamon.
Fix anything that is broken. This includes plumbing, electrical systems, switches, windows, TV antennas, screens, doors, and fences; if it can’t be fixed, replace it or get rid of it (no window screens are better than broken ones). A buyer will make a much lower offer if your house is in disrepair and will probably still insist that everything be fixed before taking occupancy. You’re better off if you leave potential buyers no reason to offer less than you are asking.
Painting your home. There’s nothing that improves the value of a home for a lower cost than a fresh coat of paint. And it’s so often easier to paint a room than it is to scrub it. Stick with neutral colors - off-white is the safest. Be sure to avoid black, violet, and pink.
Keep the noise down. Silence is a restful sound that offends no one. Turn off the TV and radio. Soft instrumental music is fine but avoid vocals. If necessary, close the windows to eliminate any street noise.

Send your pets away. Send them away or secure them away from the house when prospective buyers are coming. You never know if people will be annoyed or intimidated by your pets or even allergic to them. And you never want a prospective buyer to have to avoid animal droppings.
Send the kids to Grandma’s. Send them to Grandma’s or take them on a walk around the block. Children can be noisy and distracting to someone interested in looking at a home.

The Closing Process We know the home buying process can be confusing. Let’s walk through a brief explanation of what happens after you sign the contract. he signed contract and earnest money are delivered to the settlement agent (note: the title company often acts as T the settlement agent). Now the title order begins and information such as taxes, loan payoffs, lien search, and other information is collected. he title search will determine the legal owner of the property and any outstanding liens and/or assessments. T This search is critical to making sure the property will transfer legally to the buyer. Over the next few weeks the following will occur: inspections, repairs (if necessary), payoffs obtained from current lenders, HOA’s, lienholders, ect, and loan document preparation. It is important the buyers and sellers are responsive to requests for paperwork and information. Once the invoices, payoffs, statements, and loan documents are received, the settlement statement is prepared. This document includes the closing calculations and is used to inform the buyer and seller of their bottom line figures. The closing paperwork must then be signed by the buyer and the seller. This will include documents such as the deed, settlement statement, loan documents (if applicable), and others. ll payees, including the seller, payoff lenders, real estate professionals, and others are paid according to the A settlement statement. The final documents, including the deed and loan instrument, are sent to the county recorder’s office for recordation. After recording, the deed will be sent to the buyer. The title insurance policy is sent to the buyer and the lender.

Understanding title insurance. The title industry and title insurance in brief.
Prior to the development of the title industry in the late 1800s, a home-buyer received a grantor’s warranty, attorney’s title opinion, or abstractor’s certificate as assurance of home ownership. The buyer relied on the financial integrity of the grantor, attorney, or abstractor for protection. Today, homebuyers look primarily to title insurance to provide this protection. Title insurance companies are regulated by state statute. They are required to post financial guarantees to ensure that any claims will be paid in a timely fashion. They also must maintain their own “title plants” which house duplicates of recorded deeds, mortgages, plats, and other pertinent county property records.
What is title insurance? Title insurance provides coverage for certain losses due to defects in the title that, for the most part, occurred prior to your ownership. Title insurance protects against defects such as prior fraud or forgery that might go undetected until after closing and possibly jeopardize your ownership and investment.
Why is title insurance needed? Title insurance insures buyers against the risk that they did not acquire marketable title from the seller. It is primarily designed to reduce risk or loss caused by defects in title from the past. A loan policy of title insurance protects the interest of the mortgage lender, while an owner’s policy protects the equity of you, the buyer, for as long as you or your heirs (in certain policies) own the real property.
When is the premium due? You pay for your owner’s title insurance policy only once, at the close of escrow. Who pays for the owner’s policy and loan policy varies depending on local customs.

How title insurance differs. Unlike other forms of insurance, title insurance emphasizes loss prevention for the insured. Title professionals perform labor-intensive work to find and address title issues that could threaten your homeownership. This upfront analysis gives you, as a policy holder, the peace of mind that your title risk has been effectively reduced. In contrast, insurance based on loss assumption (such as auto or property and casualty insurance) requires little upfront work because claims cannot be predicted or prevented, and premium funds are needed only in the event of an accident or other covered issue. These types of insurance also require annual coverage payments, unlike title insurance which is paid for only once upon the purchase of your home or establishment of a new mortgage.
The importance of title protection. There are many title issues that could cause you to lose your real property or your mortgage investment. Even the most careful search of public records may not disclose the most dangerous threat: hidden risks. These issues may not be uncovered until years later. Without title insurance from a reputable and financially solvent company, the ownership of your home could be jeopardized.
Here are some examples of title issues that may occur: eeds by persons supposedly single, D but secretly married. Deeds in lieu of foreclosure given under duress arital rights of spouse purportedly, but not M legally, divorced. Impersonation of the true owner of the land. Deeds by minors. Deeds by persons of unsound mind. Deeds to or from defunct corporations. Defective acknowledgments by notaries. Duress in execution of instruments. Erroneous reports furnished by tax officials. Forged deeds, releases, etc. Mistakes in recording legal documents. Surviving children omitted from will. dministration of estate of persons absent but A not deceased. Birth or adoption of children after date of will. laims of creditors against real property sold by heirs C or devisees. eed of community property recited to be D separate property. Deeds by foreign parties.

Seller’s Checklist
Prior to Closing: Provide title company with current loan information so a payoff statement can be ordered from your lender. You will need to provide your Social Security Number and you may be required to sign a form authorizing your lender to provide the payoff to First American Title. Complete a Confidential Information Statement if you have a common surname. Provide documentation of any change in marital status (divorce, marriage, death) during current ownership. If the property is inherited we will need a copy of the probated will. Have your Power of Attorney approved prior to closing in the event you will not be present to sign documents. Required at Closing: Driver’s License
Social Security Number
ring extra house keys, garage door openers, warranties or operational manuals for appliances (heating, AC, stove, etc.) B or let your real estate professional know where in the house they are located. Avoiding Closing Delays: Lenders and title insurers may require single owners who have married to have their spouse sign paperwork or a deed at closing. Discuss this with your escrow officer early in the transaction. The Confidential Information Statement should be completed and returned promptly. It will help clarify the identity of the actual person or persons named on judgments in the title search. After Closing: Cancel your homeowner’s insurance if you are moving from the property at closing. If you are remaining at the property after closing, you should notify your agent of this change. Make sure your lender has your forwarding address. The lender will refund monies left in your escrow/impound account and send final paperwork regarding the paid loan. Keep your final settlement statement with tax documents. You will need it when filing taxes.
