RESPECT ACADEMY AT LINCOLN

RESPECT ACADEMY AT LINCOLN is a Title I public high school that is part of the School District No. 1 in the county of Denver and State of C school district, located in DENVER, CO with about 116 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, RESPECT ACADEMY AT LINCOLN has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

RESPECT ACADEMY AT LINCOLN, located on South Federal Boulevard in Denver, operates as a specialized alternative education campus within the Denver Public Schools (DPS) system. The school is specifically designed to support students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings, providing a more intimate, structured, and focused environment. Its mission centers on re-engaging students with their education by offering personalized learning pathways, credit recovery options, and a supportive culture that prioritizes student well-being and academic progress.

The academy places a heavy emphasis on its core values—as implied by its name—fostering a climate of mutual respect between staff and students. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, Respect Academy is able to offer intensive academic interventions and social-emotional support tailored to individual needs. The school aims to help students who have faced barriers to graduation get back on track, ultimately preparing them for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning to a traditional high school, entering the workforce, or pursuing higher education.
