Summary:

Global Leadership Academy is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Denver, Colorado, with a student population of 366 and a predominantly Hispanic student body. The school is part of the Mapleton School District No. 1, which is ranked 112 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Global Leadership Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Colorado high schools, with significantly lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 10% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 31% and the district average of 12%. The school's performance on PSAT/SAT Reading and Writing is also below the state and district averages, with only 42% of 11th-grade students being proficient or better, compared to the state average of 58% and the district average of 38%. Additionally, the school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (89.34%) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (78.96% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 71.25% to 83.39% Hispanic students and 46.15% to 78.57% students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Global Leadership Academy to the nearby schools, such as Westminster High School, Northglenn High School, and Academy High School, it becomes evident that the school is performing significantly worse academically, with lower test scores and rankings. This suggests that Global Leadership Academy may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.

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.
