The mission of Durango School District (DSD), an innovative educational system committed to excellence, is to ensure each student develops the skills and attributes for lifelong learning and has the ability to compete and contribute in the global community, by guaranteeing equitable educational opportunities in a safe and healthy environment.
We strive to create a learning environment where all students own their learning, act on their learning, and impact their community. Learners must be actively engaged, and we are dedicated to personalizing learning based on each student’s strengths and needs. Our role as a school district is to provide learning opportunities where students develop their critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. A personalized, competency-based approach to teaching and learning the standards and a community of collaborative learning will prepare students for post-secondary success.
Durango School District continually monitors our student and system results to ensure that we are on track to realize our mission. Each year our district compiles Results Reports in four major categories to measure our progress. The four categories are:
Mission - College and Career Readiness
Academic Achievement
Social and Emotional Learning
Portrait of a Graduate.
Results Reports from the previous school year and earlier were presented to the Durango School District Board and may be viewed in BoardDocs or requested by email. If you would like an accessible version of a document to meet your specific needs, please email us with your request.
