DENVER — Denver Public Schools has been ranked No. 1 in a Brookings Institute list of the best large districts in the nation for education choice and competition.
This is the second year in a row DPS has received the honor.
The report recognizes the district for having, “a strong choice system characterized by a centralized assignment process requiring a single application from parents for both charter and regular public schools.”
It also mentions that DPS has a good mix of alternatives to traditional public schools.
In second place was Recovery School District in New Orleans. The two were in a virtual tie in the 2015 list.
