Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year!

February is here!

Way to GO GRE Staff and Students for earning the

GOVERNOR’S DISTINGUISHED IMPROVEMENT AWARD

from the Colorado Dept. of Education

The Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Awards are given to schools that demonstrate exceptional student growth on state assessments. To receive this award, a school must “exceed” expectations on the indicator related to longitudinal academic growth and “meet or exceed” expectations on the indicator related to academic growth gaps on the school performance framework that is used by the state to evaluate schools.

Governor’s Ranch Elementary is one of only 19 schools in Jefferson County and 162 schools in Colorado to earn this award in 2011.
