Superintendent Alex Marrero of Denver Public Schools earned a high score of 88.4 out of 100 on his latest performance review, surpassing last year's result. The Denver school board unanimously approved the evaluation after a three-hour closed-door session. Board members praised Marrero for his work in expanding community hubs that provide essential services to DPS families and noted progress in early literacy and math test scores.
However, they also expressed concern about widening racial and income-based test score gaps, particularly among Latino and Black students, as well as students from low-income families. Marrero's evaluation highlighted several areas for improvement, including accelerating academic progress, enhancing staff and employee culture, and ensuring equitable application of the district's discipline matrix.
