Mapleton Public Schools is a public school district located in the Thornton/North Denver area of Adams County. We are committed to raising expectations, providing choices for learning, and removing obstacles for all students to guarantee all students achieve their dreams and enthusiastically contribute to their community, country, and world. Located in one of the fastest-growing counties in Colorado, Mapleton covers 25 square miles and serves suburban and light industrial communities, with new neighborhoods and developments popping up every year. Mapleton serves more than 7,000 students in small-by-design brick-and-mortar schools and one online school. Each student comes from a unique background with their own set of talents, interests, circumstances, and motivations. Mapleton offers a robust preschool program with full-day and half-day options for 3-and-4-year olds, in-person and online learning opportunities for students in grades K-12, and an alternate pathway to high school graduation for young adults up to age 21. By placing relationships at the forefront of our work, Mapleton's schools offer safe, family-like environments of relentless support. In Mapleton, you won't slip through the cracks or get lost in the crowd. Clarification on School Level vs. Central Spending Data: Some financial transparency data when compared to certain other school districts may reflect a higher percentage of spending per student at the central level. However, this percentage does not accurately represent the actual allocation of resources to schools due to the way certain districtwide operational costs are coded in our financial system. Why this discrepancy occurs: In our district, several essential operational expenses, such as utilities and technology services, are centrally budgeted and coded to ensure consistency and efficiency. In addition, multiple positions such as custodial services, substitute teacher, special education teachers & paras, security, & health assistants are not broken down by individual school locations in our financial system and are coded as a central expense - 86% of our employees are school based. Our district’s budgeting practices prioritize student and school needs, and a significant portion of resources, both instructional and operational, are indeed allocated to schools.
