Colorado School Districts
The purpose of this site is to provide the researcher with ready reference to the school districts within the counties and the location of school census records in Colorado.
The Colorado State Archives maintains and services school census records for 33 of the 63 counties. These records are valuable for verifying age for Social Security purposes and for tracing genealogy. The census records are arranged alphabetically by county and there under by school district. In order to locate a record, you need to provide us with the county, school district name or number and approximate dates to search. To assist you in providing us with this information a listing of the state’s school districts is listed below. Click on the county to view a list of its school districts. We also have several counties for which we have compiled census indexes. Please see the school census page for links to these sites.
The school census may state the teachers name, pupil’s name, the name of the parents/guardian, home address, date of birth, nativity of parents and grade last attended. This information varies by county and year.
The following list, arranged by county, indicates where the school census records are stored. In instances where the Colorado State Archives has custody of the records, the date span is given. However, these dates may not be inclusive for all the districts in a given county.
For the address and telephone number of a current school district, please contact the Colorado Department of Education, 201 E. Colfax Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80203, (303) 866 – 6600, or visit their web site at http://www.cde.state.co.us/.
We will respond to mail and phone requests but suggest that you conduct any extensive research at our facility whenever possible. We have search, handling, and copy fees. Please contact us in order to find out the charges for your request.
Address all inquiries to the Colorado State Archives.
