Top 10: Denver’s most in-demand elementary, middle and high schools

Parents of Denver’s roughly 93,000 public school students have choices to make.
Kids in the city are automatically eligible to attend their local public school. Some live in “enrollment zones,” which means students choose one of a handful of schools in an area.
But not all students, and their parents, stop there. Thousands apply to enroll their children in a school despite not living in the boundaries of that school.
So which schools are the most sought after?
In the first quarter of the year, parents of about 22,000 students submitted ranked preferences for the school they wanted for their children. Of those, the majority 13,884, to be exact were submitting to enroll their student in one of three grades: kindergarten, sixth grade and ninth grade.
This will fall under the category, Things You Really Didn t Think You Needed to Tell People. But here we go, nonetheless.
I was driving into work Tuesday morning, right after Winter Storm Part 2 had made most of our roads far too much of an adventure to navigate (although I did). I was traveling down U.S. Highway 231. A very large Dodge Ram got in behind me. I know it was a Ram because I could see the logo in my rear view mirror. Can you already spot the issue here?
Yes, had this particular driver been behind me at minimum safe distance, I wouldn t have been able to give the Chrysler Corporation a plug just now. Fortunately, when 231 broke into a four-lane in front of College View Middle School, he stormed around me and went on his way.
