SOBESKY ACADEMY

SOBESKY ACADEMY is a public school that is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1 school district, located in LAKEWOOD, CO with about 92 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 17 teachers, SOBESKY ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

SOBESKY ACADEMY, located in Lakewood, Colorado, is a specialized K-12 school within the Jefferson County Public School district. It is designed to serve students who require significant social-emotional and behavioral support, offering a highly structured and therapeutic environment. The school’s primary mission is to help students develop the coping skills, self-regulation strategies, and academic habits necessary to successfully transition back to a traditional neighborhood school setting.

The educational approach at Sobesky is rooted in a collaborative model that blends intensive clinical support with standard curriculum delivery. The staff—which includes specialized teachers, counselors, and mental health professionals—works closely with families and district partners to create individualized education programs (IEPs) tailored to each student's specific needs. By maintaining small class sizes and a focus on restorative practices, the academy provides a safe and supportive space for students to overcome behavioral challenges while making continued progress toward their academic goals.
