With about 21 teachers, EMILY GRIFFITH HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EMILY GRIFFITH HIGH SCHOOL, located in downtown Denver, is a unique alternative education institution designed to serve students who have struggled in traditional high school settings. Part of the larger Emily Griffith Technical College ecosystem, the school focuses on providing a flexible, supportive, and accelerated pathway for students to earn their high school diplomas. By integrating high school coursework with opportunities for career and technical education, the school helps students bridge the gap between secondary education and workforce readiness.

The school is particularly notable for its non-traditional approach, which caters to students who may be at risk of dropping out or who simply thrive in a more adult-oriented, self-paced environment. By leveraging its location and connection to technical college programming, EMILY GRIFFITH HIGH SCHOOL emphasizes practical skills, personal responsibility, and individualized learning plans. This environment is structured to help students reclaim their education while gaining the certifications and real-world experiences necessary to succeed in post-secondary life.
