     5280 Magazine Article

 

     Did you happen to pick up the September issue of 5280 Magazine with the headline "Denver's Best Elementary Schools?"  If so, you probably quickly noticed that Lenski was not on the list.  In fact, only one LPS elementary school made the 5280 list.  Lenski's absence from the 5280 list does not mean our school is not excelling academically.  The article looked at schools in a one-county radius around Denver and made selec-tions based on the Colorado Growth Model which assesses schools according to levels of academic pro-ficiency in math, reading, writing and "growth" - the extent to which schools help kids catch up, keep up or surpass expected levels.  They also gave special consid-eration to schools with higher Free-and-Reduced Lunch numbers.  Lenski is in the "High Achievement, High Growth" zone for reading, writing, and math, which reconfirms what we already know about our school.  In fact, Lenski's proficiency and growth scores were as high or higher than many of the schools on the list!  Check out the growth model tool if you want to view Lenski's results or compare our school to other schools in Colorado.
