A MESSAGE FROM:
Adams 12 Five Star Schools
2025-2026
The Adams 12 Five Star District is located north of Denver and is comprised by all or parts of the following communities: Broomfield, Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton, and Westminster. Based on 2024-25 October count data, the District serves 33,566 students (PK-12) with the following demographics: 7.4% Asian, 1.6% Black, 45.8% Hispanic, 0.4% Native American, 5.3% Two or More Races, and 39.4% White. The number of Multilingual Learners (MLs) has increased slightly since last year to 21.2%. Th…
e number of students receiving free/reduced lunch has increased over the last few years to 49.9%. In general, schools in the southern portion of the district are comprised of greater percentages of MLs and students receiving free/reduced lunch, and schools in the northern portion of the district are comprised of fewer at-risk students. Theory of Action: In our commitment to educational equity, where every student receives what they need to develop to their full potential by reducing the historical predictability of who succeeds and who fails, we are implementing the following theory of action. THEORY OF ACTION WHEN educators commit to knowing each student by name (including how to pronounce it correctly), strength (what they are passionate about/excel at in and outside of school), and need (what challenges/worries students in and outside of school), WHEN educators understand and actively address the barriers to learning faced by historically marginalized students, including but not limited to racism, poverty, language difference, and abilities, WHEN educators know grade level/course focus standards aligned to our district Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum and how students demonstrate mastery of those standards, WHEN educators are committed to utilizing instructional methods and practices that elicit evidence of student learning and promote student ownership of learning, and WHEN educators collaboratively and individually plan lessons and learning experiences that combine their knowledge of each student, grade level/course standards and effective instructional methods THEN students will regularly engage in learning partnerships that are not only relevant, meaningful, and empowering but also culturally affirming, inclusive, and equitable, AND data will show improvement in student growth, achievement, and postsecondary workforce readiness (PWR).
