APS 2012 Community Update

The 2012 Community Update provides the Aurora Public Schools parents and community members a snapshot of student academic progress. Every year, school districts in Colorado report about their performance to their communities, based on requirements in the No Child Left Behind Act.

Information required by federal law is now available on the Colorado Department of Education’s Web site in the SchoolView Data Center at www.schoolview.org/performance.asp.  To view data for Aurora Public Schools, click on the SchoolView Data Center and then select Adams-Arapahoe 28J on the right side of the page.

For a printed copy of the data, please contact the APS Communication Department at 303-365-7805.
