District 12 Receives State's Top Award for Achievement

Cheyenne Mountain School District 12 was once again honored by The State Board of Education and Commissioner Robert Hammond as a district Accredited with Distinction at a December 12, 2011 ceremony. 

The “Accredited with Distinction” designation is reserved for the top 18 school districts (10%) across the state.  Cheyenne Mountain District 12 received the third highest accreditation score in Colorado behind the Aspen and Telluride school districts, and was the highest ranked school district among large and urban/suburban school districts in the state.  Other area school districts joining Cheyenne Mountain in this category were Lewis Palmer (5th) and Academy 20 (9th).

Colorado accreditation categories are based on rankings from measures of (1) academic achievement, (2) academic growth, (3) academic growth gaps among subgroups of students, and (4) postsecondary and workforce readiness [high school only].  To review the reports of this data for all districts in Colorado, click here.
