About Boulder Universal (0930)
A MESSAGE FROM:
Boulder Universal
2025-2026
Boulder Universal is a K-12 multi-district online school with an asynchronous school (BU). BU also supports BVSD?s Strategic Plan with our Virtual Interventionist Program (VIP) and Math Acceleration Program (MAP). Approximately 75% of our students enrolled live in the Boulder Valley School District attendance boundaries, but we have students from all parts of Colorado. The student body is composed of mostly full-time students and a few hybrid students who are enrolled at a BVSD school with a con…
current enrollment at BU. The mobility rate at BU historically has been around 75-80% per year as students utilize our school for a variety of needs. However, the 2024-2025 school year?s mobility rate is approximately 60%. We believe this lower mobility rate is due to many students staying online after positive online experiences through their BU experience and the unique learning experiences that are available at BU. Our rate of students qualifying for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program is approximately 35%, although this is likely a lower number since parents often don?t rely on FRL services in an online environment. With these aforementioned factors, our graduation rate is 88.9%. Every year we have students who enroll at BU and never show up. We follow BVSD protocol of student engagement and oftentimes cannot find families since we?ve never met them before. Due to this, we?ve implemented new mid-year enrollment policies. BU?s current FT enrollment is approximately 250 students, 8 PT students, and 500+ students in our VIP and MAP programs. Our performance in 2024 identifies that we had Insufficient State Data to determine our performance level. We did not have enough students participate in 3rd-8th, 11th grade CMAS, and 9th grade PSAT to register an Academic Growth or Performance score. The majority of our families choose to refuse testing even with strong efforts from school staff and administration to reverse this trend. We contact every family and document every parent refusal. State testing requires students to take tests outside of their chosen learning environment. Some students are engaged in the Performing Arts (actor's, performers, etc.) and are Pre-Professional Athletes, while others are in treatment for severe physical or mental health challenges that prevent their attendance at a traditional school. Thus, state assessments are not the priority of a large number of our students' and families' educational plans. Our continued historic participation rates lack the minimum for reporting data for most of our demographic groups, likewise 3-year trends are not available in most areas To identify areas of improvement, we use internal data points to identify individual student needs and discuss trends over the entire school population. We use the individual student's data and rely on the district's assessment data to support our school?s improvement strategies. To inform students' needs around literacy skill development and practice, mClass, IXL Level Up, Into Math, ALEKS, MAPS, Writing Rubrics, and CommonLIt Assessment are administered to every student. This year we will use the mClass Literacy (K-5th), Into Math (6th-8th), and CommonLit data (6th-12th) and ALEKS (9th-12th) as main data points to implement the BVSD Instructional Model. All students significantly below grade level in any reading will receive targeted instruction, progress monitoring, etc. Specifically in math, all students K-12 will take the IXL Level Up, ALEKS or Into Math BOY, MOY, and EOY to monitor growth throughout the year. Our MTSS and DDI process will be targeted to address these needs. Based on analysis of results from i-Ready data and graduation/dropout rates, our school?s notable trends indicate improved performance in identifying students' needs, providing universal supports and appropriate individual supports toward the end goal of completion of courses and graduation. It is clear that our strategies positively impacted our dropout rate; 2020 - 29.2%; 2025 - 3.6%. Our Major Improvement Strategy and Actions Steps are largely similar from last school year, as we will continue to focus on implementing the BVSD Instructional Model and being reflective through our DDI and MTSS processes. This will provide a consistent curriculum, learning, and growth model for all of our students. We believe we will continue to see strong reading and writing and math growth in our data points. Moving forward, BU will continue to focus on both of these priorities to align with the district wide Strategic Plan. The UIP creation occurred through the district's Strategic School Support Process that entailed multiple meetings with school leadership, district leadership, data driven protocols and decision making. The principal met with school staff, shared leadership, and other stakeholders to provide feedback on the UIP.
