Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning

Summary:

Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning is an alternative public school in Denver, Colorado that serves 390 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. This predominantly White (77.18%) school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic assessments, with particularly strong performance in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

The school's academic excellence is evident in its CMAS proficiency rates, which are significantly higher than state averages, including 61.9% in ELA and 44.4% in Math. Its PSAT and SAT scores also exceed state and district benchmarks. Additionally, Rocky Mountain School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.2 to 18.4 over the past three years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 2.06% to 3.82%, indicates a student population of relatively high socioeconomic status, which may raise questions about accessibility and inclusiveness.

When compared to nearby schools, Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning stands out as a high-performing institution, particularly in terms of academic achievement. Schools like Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County and STEM School Highlands Ranch also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting a competitive educational landscape in the area. While the school's overall academic excellence is impressive, there may be opportunities to further enhance student learning, particularly in areas where proficiency rates are lower, such as CMAS Math. Additionally, exploring ways to increase the diversity of the student population and ensure equitable access to the school's educational opportunities could be an area for consideration.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

RMSEL is an incredible school that pioneered Expeditionary Learning. Kids learn actual life skills in addition to academic necessities. Leadership and teachers are first rate and the community is warm and inviting. Our kids have excelled at the school and we have loved being a part of the community for 10+ years. Real life is hard and RMSEL prepares kids for it with passion and creativity. Parents who are involved and understand that challenging your kids is great for building their character will find the experience better than any other possible school. 11/10 I would recommend RMSEL to families who want to work hard to make a positive impact on the world.

RMSEL teachers are incredible. They challenge students to reach their potential and continue to support their learning long beyond the time they had them in their class. With students at the school for over 10 years we have seen teachers come and go and new teachers continue to impress us.

Leaders need to lead and the quality of leadership at RMSEL has continued to increase in the last decade. Our experience in the last decade has been that kids are number one and Chad has done an excellent job of prioritizing them over anything else. My kids love the leaders in the school and they continue to create an environment that challenges students and prepares them for the real world.

With multiple students in need of special help we have been extremely happy with the accommodations of teachers and staff in helping our kids succeed.

RMSEL deals very well with bullying in our experience. Our concerns have been addressed promptly and in a way that promotes growth in our students. Unfortunately there are several parents who do not believe their student could be a bully and do very little to address their issues.

As a parent who runs a business I believe it's important to balance achievement and work ethic. The homework my kids have received has never been cumbersome and has encouraged practice over busy-ness.

I HIGHLY recommend RMSEL for students who want to prepare themselves for real life. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
