Public vs. Private: A Tale of Two School Systems
First things first, Denver boasts two main types of schools: public and private.
Public Schools: Ruled by the benevolent hand (or should we say, high five?) of Denver Public Schools (DPS), these institutions are funded by the government and open to all residents. Think of them like a buffet of education – all you can learn for (almost) free! DPS alone operates a whopping 207 schools, encompassing elementary, middle, and high schools, with a sprinkle of combination schools thrown in for good measure.
Private Schools: Independent institutions with their own admission criteria and tuition fees. Think of them as fancy restaurants of education – a la carte learning with a side of prestige (and maybe a hefty bill). The exact number of private schools in Denver is a bit trickier to pin down, but estimates range in the hundreds.
So, How Many Schools Are There REALLY?
Now, for the big reveal! Buckle up, because this number might surprise you. Adding up all the public schools and throwing in a generous helping of private schools, we're looking at somewhere in the ballpark of... well, it's a lot.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
There. I said it. Denver has a ton of schools. Enough to make your head spin faster than a kid on a sugar rush after a bake sale.
But Wait, There's More! Don't Forget About...
- Charter Schools: Publicly funded schools with more freedom over curriculum and operations. Basically, the rebels without a cause (but with a good education, hopefully).
- Preschools: Because tiny humans deserve a head start on their academic journey too (and maybe some free time for the grown-ups).
