Student demographics can be found below. 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 15 teachers, ELEVATE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 51:1. 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.

ELEVATE ACADEMY, located in Lakewood, Colorado, is a specialized educational institution operating under the Jefferson County Public School district. It is specifically designed as an "Option School" that focuses on providing a highly supportive, alternative learning environment for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. The school emphasizes small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a personalized approach to academic credit recovery and graduation requirements.

The program at ELEVATE ACADEMY is built around fostering strong, positive relationships between students and staff, creating a "community-first" atmosphere. By prioritizing social-emotional learning alongside core academics, the school aims to help students overcome barriers to success, improve attendance, and build the confidence necessary to earn their diplomas. It serves as a vital resource for students looking for a more flexible, non-traditional path to completing their secondary education in a safe and structured environment.
