Denver 1 operates 1 public schools serving 390 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Colorado. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Denver County.
The funding mix is 39.3% local, 33.2% state, and 27.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
and 22.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.2% White, 13.4% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% African American across the district's schools.
Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning accounts for 97.9% of all Denver 1 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Denver 1 a distant remainder — means Denver 1-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Denver 1 chronic absenteeism rate is 22.5% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Denver 1 is typically wider than the Denver 1-aggregate figure suggests.
