Inspire Elementary

Inspire Elementary is a regular public school serving 629 students in grades pre-kindergarten through five in Denver, Colorado. Its composite score of 9.4 out of 10 earns an Exceptional rating — and the data behind that label are hard to argue with. The school ranks second among 222 public schools in Denver and tenth among all 1,815 public schools across Colorado.

Academic achievement scores a strong 8.7, but growth is where Inspire truly differentiates. The school's 9.9 growth score ranks it eighth among Colorado's 1,006 public elementary schools — meaning students make measurably more academic progress here than at nearly every comparable school in the state. A student-teacher ratio of 17.0:1 keeps classrooms structured enough to drive that result across a sizable enrollment.

Outperforming 100% of Colorado public schools is a benchmark few schools at any level clear. Inspire Elementary clears it without selective admissions, operating as an open-access neighborhood school. For Denver families evaluating elementary options, the performance data are unambiguous — this school delivers results at an elite level, year after year, across its full enrollment.
