DISTRICT OVERVIEW:
Rigor, relevance, relationships, and choice make Mapleton Public Schools a destination district for both families and staff.

Standards-based instruction is offered through the lens of engaging education models, including EL, International Baccalaureate, Big Picture, STEM, Performing and Visual Arts, Project-based Learning, Young Adult, and online.
In Mapleton’s full-choice system, families select their school based on how their child likes to learn, not where they live. Mapleton serves more than 6,700 students – from toddlers to young adults – in unincorporated Adams County, Thornton, and north Denver. With an unyielding commitment to academic success and personal growth, Mapleton is committed to raising expectations by removing obstacles to learning and supporting all students in achieving their dreams.
According to a recent community survey, parents/guardians are proud that their children attend Mapleton Public Schools and believe Mapleton schools are full of highly-skilled and compassionate staff.
