We are excited to announce Alexis Matter as a member of our office staff. Alexis has been with us for the past year and is excited to move into this new role. Click here for a bio of Alexis.

School Performance Framework (SPF) Update
Because of changes in state testing in 2014-15 and the lack of growth data, DPS will not be releasing a 2015 School Performance Framework (SPF) for schools. We know that parents, guardians, and community members use the SPF as one of many resources to understand schools' quality. In absence of an SPF rating this year, we wanted to provide a comprehensive list of district reports and resources parents, guardians, and community members can use in lieu of SPF ratings to determine school quality.
