Mapleton Public Schools is a unified school district in Adams County, Colorado, based in the unincorporated community of Sherrelwood. It encompasses industrial and commercial areas immediately north of Denver, including North Washington and parts of Sherrelwood, Thornton, Twin Lakes, and Welby. In the 2024–25 academic year, the school district enrolled 7,095 students at twenty schools.

Unlike other school districts in the state, schools in Mapleton do not have attendance boundaries, and students and families can choose to attend any school in the district.

History

Mapleton Public Schools was established in 1955 as Adams County School District 1 following the merger of two other districts. When Mapleton was founded, the district was primarily made up of farmland.

Up until the 2000s, the school district had performed poorly on state assessments.

In 2007, Mapleton Public Schools finished its implementation of its planned "small-by-design" schools. The district's only comprehensive high school, Skyview High School, closed at the end of the 2006–07 academic year and was replaced with several smaller high schools.

Academics

Enrollment and demographics

Mapleton Public Schools is located immediately north of Denver. It is centered on the junction of four freeways: Interstate 25 (I-25), I-76, I-270, and U.S. Route 36. Its boundaries encompass large parts of North Washington, Thornton, and Welby, as well as small parts of Sherrelwood and Twin Lakes.[2]

In the 2024–25 academic year, there were 7,095 students enrolled in Mapleton's twenty schools. The district employed 914.21 staff members (on a full-time equivalent basis), including 404.57 classroom teachers, for a student-to-teacher ratio of 17.54.[1] The demographic makeup of the district is mostly Hispanic (51%) and White (41%), and 9.9% of students speak English less than well.[3]

Performance

Mapleton Public Schools was accredited with an improvement plan by the Colorado Department of Education in 2024.

Governance

The district's superintendent is Mike Crawford.

Schools

Mapleton has twenty schools, including a stand-alone preschool, four elementary schools (one for grades K–3 and three for K–6), one 4–8 intermediate school, six K–8 schools, one junior/senior high school, four high schools, one K–12 school, an online program, and an alternative high school for young adults. In addition to the stand-alone preschool, eight other schools offer a prekindergarten program. Ten of the schools are located on two campuses: the Skyview and Broadway Campuses, the latter of which also has the district headquarters. The other ten schools have their own locations.
