    DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT TEL 720-423-3316 FAX 720-423-3317 Web WWW.dpsk12.org April 25, 2006 Dear Mayor Peña and Mayor Webb: We want to thank you for attending last week’s conversation with the DPS Board of Education and administration on Denver’s significant achievement gap and the ways in which our strategic plan intends to address the needs of all children, especially children of color. We are following up to provide more context for the direction of the district and, more specifically, for our decision to temporarily close and then reopen Manual High School. As you know, 57% of our district is Latino; 19% is African-American; and 20% is Anglo. Sixty-seven percent of our children qualify for free and reduced lunch. The data show us that we have a tremendous amount of work to do. We have enormous gaps in proficiency at every level of our district and in every subject. We include here the proficiency data related to Reading and Math, the cornerstones of academic achievement. (The tables show the percentage of students taking last year’s CSAP who scored proficient or higher.) Anglo African-American Latino Elementary School Reading 76% 42% 34% Middle School Reading 73% 36% 25% High School Reading 71% 34% 24% Elementary School Math 75% 35% 35% Middle School Math 53% 15% 15% High School Math 37% 5% 5% The percentage differences are shocking, but, to our mind, the raw numbers are even more telling. For example, only 61 Latino students and only 33 African- American students scored proficient or better on the 10th grade Math CSAP in the entire district in 2005.
