Challenges and Needs
Enrollment Challenges and Trends Enrollment varies depending upon loca on, neighborhood demographics, student/parent choice, intangible and other factors. An Enrollment Projec ons Report that analyzes future growth and reviews the past, by ar cula on area, is published annually by the Facili es Department and available to the public. The sta s cal informa on u lized in this Master Plan is developed from this annual Enrollment Projec ons Report.
Current trends indicate that the north and northwest areas are seeing significant growth due to residen al development. Central area growth is stable-to-increasing. This area is impacted by socio-economic factors, household mobility, mul -genera onal families, and affordable housing. West central growth is increasing due to residen al development.

Challenges and Needs
The south area is stable-to-declining, with pockets of growth; the area is very dependent upon residen al turnover and affordable housing for younger families. The west area is stable with some growth.
Charter schools showed significant growth with the addi on of one charter this past school year, one new charter an cipated for the upcoming school year, and overall moderate growth at the others.
The goal is to be er u lize the district‘s facili es including providing the best overall opportuni es to accommodate the various levels of teaching and support for educa onal programs.
Enrollment by Geographic Area
High Growth: North County & Along Highway 93 (Candelas and Leyden Rock), Central Lakewood, and Edgewater Moderate Growth: West Lakewood (Solterra) Stable Growth: West Area Slow or No Growth: Pockets in North and South County
Reasons for Current Growth Pa erns: Economic and Popula on Growth Improving Real Estate Market
Reasons for An cipated Future Growth Pa erns: 2013 Saw its First Increase in Birthrate since 2006 Increase in Property Sales, Decrease in Foreclosures, Increased Availability of Affordable Housing in Established Neighborhoods
Opera onal Needs
Program modifica ons and more efficient facility u liza on can affect opera onal costs.
Iden fying Needs
Facility Assessment Process and the District-Wide Facility Master Plan
This process included establishing guidelines and parameters from which Facili es developed this Master Plan.
Facili es provided informa on about the condi ons of buildings, usage, efficiency, enrollment trends, boundaries, maintenance and opera ons.
Facili es developed this master plan within the BOE guidelines that will provide direc on for future development.
11
Challenges and Needs
This Master Plan will become a key component in the development of capital programs, including construc on bond programs.
This Master Plan will also play an important part in communica ng facility needs and future district plans to the community.
Educa onal Adequacy
Educa onal Adequacy Categories
To comprehensively assess educa onal effec veness, it is necessary to understand the components that affect the instruc onal or teaching program. These components can generally be formulated into standards or guidelines that bridge the gaps between the architectural programs from which schools are built and the district’s educa onal standards. There may be numerous criteria that contribute to educa onal adequacy, however, in general they fall into eight major categories:
Capacity: The ability of core facili es to meet needs of the student popula on. It is cri cal to consider the programs at a par cular campus and the impact these programs have on classroom inventory and student teaching sta ons. It is also important to evaluate the use of permanent versus temporary structures.
Support for Programs: The provision of special spaces or classrooms that support specific curriculum offerings such as, among others, music, sports, science, and technology programs.
Technology: The presence of infrastructure, data distribu on/storage, and equipment within classrooms and laboratory se ngs. This includes local area network cabling, video distribu on systems, electrical power outlets, and projec on or video display screens.
Security and Supervision: The extent to which physical configura ons help or hinder building opera ons and includes both passive and physical security.
Instruc onal Support: The presence of necessary equipment within teaching spaces including, among others, teacher storage, student storage, wri ng and tack surfaces, sinks, demonstra on tables, and fixed audio/video equipment.
Physical Characteris cs: This focuses primarily on the sizes and shapes of individual teaching spaces and their adequacy to support program needs.
Learning Environment: The degree to which learning areas are comfortable, well-lit, odor-free, controllable, and quiet.
12
Challenges and Needs
Rela onship of Spaces: The proximity of instruc onal spaces to support areas like, among others, libraries, restrooms, and student dining and recrea onal areas.
These above eight categories establish the criteria for data collec on and subsequent data-generated analysis.
At any school, there are certain things that can be resolved or upgraded, and there are specific things that cannot realis cally be resolved without spending more than the replacement value of a structure. For instance, electrical outlets can be added, flooring materials can be changed, and data ports can be installed. However, it is generally cost prohibi ve to reconfigure a building's layout, expand a classroom to house five extra students, or move a library. The eight categories are used to iden fy "deficiencies" that can be repaired or upgraded, and "inadequacies" that simply impact a building's learning environment and should be considered when making decisions that will affect the long-term u liza on of a par cular facility.
Educa onal Adequacy Assessment
Educa onal adequacy is reviewed and updated annually by staff site visits and assessments, interviews with principals, and an annual building usage survey. The informa on obtained is then reviewed and any changes or modifica ons to usage entered into the FACTS database.

Challenges and Needs
Processes and Evalua ons
Facility Condi on Index
The Facility Condi on Index (FCI) is a widely used indicator that provides a rela ve scale of the overall condi on of a given facility or group of facili es within a facility por olio. The index is derived by dividing the total repair cost, including educa onal adequacy and site-related repairs, into the total replacement cost for the set of facili es. Based on previous district experience and consulta on with district staff, the following scale was implemented:
The FCI factor can assist in evalua ng the adequacy, or inadequacies, of facili es to accommodate the educa onal programs of which the buildings were designed.

OVERVIEW:
Stable enrollment combined with improved u liza on at the HS/MS levels. In 2015, Alameda Interna onal HS was converted to a 7-12 school and is slightly under-enrolled. Kendrick Lakes is at capacity. The rest of the elementary schools are at or near ideal enrollment. Rose Stein Elementary School is currently closed for renova on and will reopen for the 2017-18 school year. Stein ES students are housed in the Emory O’Connell ES facility. Alameda 7-12, Deane, Lasley, and Stein are Title I schools.
2015-16 Capacity: 3,031 available seats at the Elementary schools (including O’Connell), current enrollment 2,446 – 81% u liza on; Middle and High School (7-12 at Alameda Int’l) available seats 1,610, current enrollment 1,282 – 80% u liza on. The MS student enrollment at Alameda Int’l (7-12) is 466.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 1.7% increase in enrollment or about 65 students. Development in the Alameda Area consists of small residen al pockets that do not usually produce a large number of school age children. The Green Gables development near Jewell and Wadsworth will bring new students to the area. Stabiliza on of mul -family rental rates will increase enrollment also. The Rose Stein ES projec ons star ng in 2017-18 include approximately half of those students that will return from the Emory O’Connell ES.

Arvada Articulation Area
Arvada Ar cula on Area
OVERVIEW:
Under-enrollment at Arvada High and North Arvada Middle is very high with only about 50% of each facility being u lized. Elementary school u liza on varies with over-enrollment in some areas and significant under-enrollment in others. Hackberry Hill has a large gi ed and talented program and Foster serves a very large boundary.
2015-16 Capacity: 3,926 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 3,305 – 84% u liza on; K-8 School 701 available seats, current enrollment 631 – 90% u liza on; Middle School 861 available seats, current enrollment 443 – 51% u liza on; High School available seats 2,006, current enrollment 937 – 47% u liza on.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 2.2% decrease in enrollment or about 115 students across the ar cula on area. There is very li le in the way of residen al growth except for mul -family directed towards light-rail. These developments tend not to generate a significant number of students at any grade level. Single family residen al turn-over and possible altera ons to the types of programs offered at the high school level may increase the student popula on.

OVERVIEW:
Arvada West shows mixed growth due to development in the western and southern por ons of the ar cula on area, but the eastern areas have stable to declining enrollment. Arvada West HS, Drake MS, Fairmount ES, and Sto ES are at or near op mum enrollment. The remaining elementary schools are under-enrolled. The proposed Table Rock Mesa School will have an impact on this and the Golden Ar cula on area depending upon the size and grade configura on.
2015-16 Capacity: 2,672 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 2,299 – 86% u liza on; Middle School 736 available seats, current enrollment 685 – 93% u liza on; High School 1,858 available seats, current enrollment 1,751 – 94% u liza on.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 1.0% increase in enrollment or about 48 students. This area is experiencing significant growth due to new single family residen al development in the area north of I-70 and east of Highway 93. The developments aren’t the size of Candelas or Leyden Rock but are such that they will add a significant number of students, combined with neighborhood turnover. The growth will offset declines in the more established eastern neighborhoods.

Bear Creek Articulation Area
Bear Creek Ar cula on Area
OVERVIEW:
Declining enrollment at all schools except Bear Creek K-8. Significant capacity is available in Carmody MS providing the opportunity to convert to a 6-8 facility and changing the elementary schools to K5. This ar cula on area has three schools—Green Gables, Peiffer, and Red Rocks—with high FCI. A ‘past promise’ exists to replace Green Gables with a new elementary at the same site.
Projected growth of the Green Gables golf course development (Jewell and Wadsworth) will impact this ar cula on area as well as Alameda. Discussions to relocate the development into the Bear Creek Ar cula on area have been held but no recommenda ons or decisions made.
2015-16 Capacity: 2,510 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 2,103 – 84% u liza on; K-8 1,051 available seats, current enrollment 1,104 – 105% u liza on; Middle School 998 available seats, current enrollment 569 – 57% u liza on; High School 2,114 available seats, current enrollment 1,634 – 77% u liza on.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 0.9% decrease in enrollment or about 46 students. The ar cula on area is mature and enrollment growth will come from turnover in the neighborhoods. The housing is ‘affordable’ with opportuni es for growth from migra on west from the Sheridan corridor. There are large tracts of undeveloped property east of Wadsworth and south of the Green Gables development that could impact enrollment, but there are no development plans at this me.

FACILITY DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
K-5 ELEMENTARIES & 6-8 MIDDLE SCHOOL: Convert most elementary schools to K-5 to reduce enrollment, reduce modulars and build capacity into schools. No addi onal area required at Carmody to accomplish this change. Modular reduc on would be from 28 to 4 remaining in service at Red Rocks. Review boundary changes between Westgate and Green Gables; also between Red Rocks and Bradfords though this involves a change in matricula on. Assumes Green Gables replacement would come on line for the 2018-19 school year and would reduce the enrollment at Westgate and decrease u liza on at Green Gables. Currently, Green Gables has $4.2 million in building deficiencies.

OVERVIEW:
Declining enrollment at most schools except Falcon Bluffs and Deer Creek. Deer Creek’s growth can be a ributed to the STEM curriculum offered to 6th grade students. Significant capacity is available at Deer Creek MS providing the opportunity to convert to a full 6-8 facility and the possibility of conver ng the elementary schools to K5. The two Bradford schools will offer a K-8 program beginning in the 2016 school year. This ar cula on area has two schools, Coronado and Stony Creek, with rela vely high FCI.
2015-16 Capacity: 2,920 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 2,534 – 87% u liza on; 975 available seats at the Bradford K-8, current enrollment 717 – 74% u liza on; Middle School 1,997 available seats, current enrollment 1,313 – 66% u liza on; High School 2,360 available seats, current enrollment 1,811 – 77% u liza on.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 1.4% increase in enrollment or about 89 students. The ar cula on area is mature and enrollment growth will come from turnover in the neighborhoods with limited opportuni es for new development. The exis ng housing is ‘affordable’. Growth opportuni es for neighborhood schools can come from crea ng capacity with be er u liza on of exis ng facili es. Introducing PreK at Bradford and boundary adjustment with Red Rocks ES may provide addi onal enrollment in the Ken Caryl area.

FACILITY DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
Convert Deer Creek to a full 6-8 facility; 6th grade students from Ute Meadows and Stony Creek elementary schools to Deer Creek. Shaffer remains K-5, Coronado and Mortensen 6th grade students to Falcon Bluffs. Elementary schools become K-5 to reduce enrollment, reduce modulars and build capacity into schools. No addi onal square footage required at any loca on to accomplish this change. Modular reduc on would be from 22 to 2 remaining in service at Coronado. Review boundary changes between Red Rocks and Bradford though this involves a change in matricula on. Consider a PreK at Bradford Primary.

OVERVIEW:
Ar cula on area growth is flat with a projected 0.7% decrease over the next five years. Elementary school enrollment is close to capacity except for Dutch Creek, which loses a significant number of students to Normandy and charters due to choice enrollment. There is a lack of development in the area; growth is either from the exis ng community, neighborhood ‘turnover’, or choice enrollment.

Jefferson Articulation Area
Jefferson Ar cula on Area
OVERVIEW:
In the 2015-16 school year, there was a major reconfigura on in the Jefferson Ar cula on area that changed the High School to a 7-12 facility. Middle school students in this ar cula on area can a end the 7-12 or choice into one of the other middle schools. There is insufficient data to make anything other than an ‘educated guess’ based upon past trends as how successful this change will be. All the elementary schools are over-enrolled with a significant number of modulars providing the addi onal space necessary to meet the number of students. There are 25 modulars at the three elementary schools.
There is a lack of development in the area; growth is either from the exis ng community, neighborhood ‘turnover’ and ‘gentrifica on’, or choice enrollment. This is a high mobility area also, with enrollment increases or decreases dependent upon rental rates.
2015-16 Capacity: 1,875 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 1,530 – 82% u liza on; Middle & High School (7-12) 997 available seats, current enrollment 731 – 73% u liza on. The MS student enrollment at Jefferson (7-12) is 271.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 4.1% decrease in enrollment or about 92 students. The five-year projec ons are based upon data from the previous configura on of the ar cula on area. The high mobility and availability of below market priced housing can cause significant fluctua ons in enrollment. Replacement of modular classrooms with permanent square footage could reduce the percentage of families choosing to choice out of the neighborhood boundaries.

There is a lack of development in the area; growth is either from the exis ng community, neighborhood ‘turnover’ and ‘gentrifica on’, or choice enrollment. The development that does exist is related to Light Rail and tends to focus on mul -family housing with minimal children. This is a demographically diverse area consis ng of single family housing with some aging mul family as well as that related to Light Rail.
2015-16 Capacity: 2,211 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 1,798 – 81% u liza on; Middle School 958 available seats, current enrollment 705 – 74% u liza on; High School 1,898 available seats, current enrollment 2,099 –111% u liza on.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
FIVE YEAR PROJECTIONS:
Growth projec ons over the next five years indicate approximately a 2.2% increase in enrollment or about 102 students. The ar cula on area is mature and enrollment growth will come from turnover in the neighborhoods and choice enrollment as a result of the successful academic program. The exis ng housing is ‘affordable’ but large scale single family development opportuni es are minimal.

FACILITY DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
K-5 ELEMENTARIES & 6-8 MIDDLE SCHOOL:
Consolidate Stober and Vivian into a new 768 student facility on the Vivian site. Modify Boundaries in the Stober/Vivian, and Prospect Valley/Kullerstrand areas. Consolidate Prospect Valley ES and Kullerstrand into Prospect Valley with classroom addi on for a 768 school. Move Kullerstrand and Prospect Valley 6th graders into Everi MS. Consolida ng these four schools into two sites will remove $12.8 million in building deficiencies. Add 4-classroom addi on to Maple Grove ES to reduce high u liza on. Sobesky Academy has relocated into Stevens ES. Sobesky at the former Stevens ES is not included in these studies.

FACILITY DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
Enrollment figures do not paint an accurate picture of the popularity or success of these op on programs.
Dennison, D’ Evelyn, and Manning offer programs geared towards academic excellence with Dennison and Manning exceeding 100% u liza on. These facili es are located in the central and south-central areas. Adding sites in the north and south areas should be considered; although, providing addi onal sites may dilute the candidate pool and increase enrollment at the expense of neighborhood schools.
There is increased interest in career, technical educa on (CTE). The Warren Tech enrollment doesn’t appear to support that, but the students that a end Warren Tech are counted in their home schools. 1,200 students a end Warren Tech Central (WT) and 300 Warren Tech North programs each day. Students are responsible for ge ng themselves to their classes at either campus. Considera on should be given to the crea on of another campus located in south area of the district that could offer programs similar to current loca ons, new programs, or both. The other op on is to reconfigure an under-u lized facility to a CTE oriented school that will provide an addi onal loca on.

Jeffco Open School originally constructed in 1930 with addi ons in 1977, 1995, and 1997 underwent a major addi on and renova on in 2010 which cons tuted Phase I of the work. Phase I removed approximately 50,000 SF from the center of the building. Phase I constructed these spaces: administra on, commons, kitchen, early childhood and primary grades, art, Special Ed, music, site and playground redevelopment. The Proposed Phase II includes a new gymnasium, mechanical plant, renova on of the exis ng west classroom wing, and renova on of the exis ng gymnasium.
Miller Special originally constructed in 1963 with addi ons in 1989 and 2000. This facility is unique in that it serves students with special needs that cannot be accommodated in the neighborhood schools. A phased master plan was developed in 2008 that called for the demoli on and replacement of about 75% of the facility and the renova on of the remaining por on. Master Plan and phased improvements are s ll valid.
Long View High School serves a small number of students in a series of modular buildings southwest of McClain High School. Placed in service in 1967 these buildings have some of the highest FCI in the district. Recommenda on is to relocate the program to a different loca on (Brady or McLain) and demolish the exis ng building.

South Area Athle c Complex
Increasing par cipa on in student athle c programs has placed significant strain on the stadiums that support these programs. Currently, there are two primary stadia for football, Jeffco Stadium and North Area Athle c Complex (NAAC), Lakewood Memorial Field is the primary soccer field and Jeffco Stadium for track and field compe on. To alleviate this situa on a sports complex similar to NAAC is proposed. The proposed site is property located at Kipling Parkway and Quincy Avenue. This site also has D’ Evelyn Jr./Sr. High School and Rocky Mountain Deaf School. The Complex would consist of a football stadium, soccer, prac ce fields, locker rooms, and parking.

Outdoor Lab Schools:
Mt. Evans and Windy Peak Outdoor Educa onal Lab Schools serve approximately 6,000 sixth graders during the school year as well as outside organiza ons during the summer months. In 2015, a Master Plan was prepared for Mt. Evans and Windy Peak. The purpose of the Plan is to provide both a long range plan for each facility as well as a fund-raising tool for the Outdoor Lab Founda on.
In the spring of 2015, a large boulder stopped sliding just short of the Mt. Evans dining hall. The boulder has been secured but brought to the forefront the need to reconsider the loca on of the hall and plan to replace this facility in a loca on consistent with the recently prepared Master Plan.
