Florence Crittenton High School

What Florence Crittenton High School does

Florence Crittenton High School is a public high school within Denver Public Schools (DPS) that serves young women in grades 9-12 who are pregnant or already parenting, located at 55 South Zuni Street in Denver, Colorado. The school operates a dual-generation model in partnership with the nonprofit Florence Crittenton Services, delivering a DPS-accredited diploma track alongside a GED pathway, concurrent enrollment courses with Community College of Denver and Metropolitan State University of Denver, and a healthcare career pathway called MEDConnect. Its core technology stack is built on Edgenuity for online coursework, Schoology as the learning management system, Maia Learning for college and career planning, and Ready Rosie for family engagement, all used within a hybrid learning environment.

The school's go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer plus community-driven motion: open enrollment is available at any time during the school year, walk-in registration is accepted at the main office, and student recruitment is reinforced through referrals from community organizations, Denver Public Schools channels, and the broader Florence Crittenton Services network. Distribution is regional, with students traveling from 48+ zip codes across 4 counties of the Denver metro area, supported by a Lyft-funded transportation program that provided over 400 rides to approximately 30 teen mothers.

Economically, Florence Crittenton is a publicly funded institution with no tuition and no disclosed revenue; operations are sustained through DPS per-pupil allocations, Title I federal funding, and contributions from Florence Crittenton Services and partner organizations. The school's competitive differentiator is not academic rigor alone but the integration of an on-campus Early Childhood Education Center, a Denver Health School-Based Health Center, the Student and Family Support Program with case management and housing assistance, transportation partnerships, art therapy, life skills classes, and a Homebound and Maternity Leave program. The reported 93% concurrent enrollment pass rate (3% above the DPS district average for 2021-2022) is the most quantitatively supported outcome metric.
