Below are proposed projects in the 2016 Jeffco Facilities Master Plan for schools in Lakewood. Dates are only included where specified by the facilities plan. The projects would:
Bear Creek feeder area
Convert most elementary schools into K-5 schools -- exactly which are not specified. The change would reduce crowding at the area elementaries, resulting in modular classroom reductions from 28 to four.
Possibly move sixth-graders from Green Gables, Peiffer and Red Rocks elementary schools to Carmody Middle School.
Review boundary changes between Westgate and Green Gables elementary schools, and Red Rocks and Bradfords elementary schools.
Close and rebuild Green Gables into a K-5 facility to open by the 2018-19 school year. That would help accommodate more than 200 new area students. Currently, Green Gables has $4.2 million in building deficiencies.
Green Mountain feeder area
Renovate Green Mountain High School, including site redevelopment, relocation of athletic fields and construction of locker rooms, auxiliary gym, mechanical and electrical services.
Build an addition at Dunstan Middle School to house a sixth-grade level and increase capacity to 1,100.
Add eight classrooms at Green Mountain Elementary and move sixth-grade classes to Dunstan Middle School.
Split the Glennon Heights Elementary School boundary between Belmar and Green Mountain elementary schools.
Close Glennon Heights Elementary School.
Convert elementary schools to K-5 to reduce enrollment and build capacity into schools.Modify the boundary at Devinny, Hutchinson and Rooney Ranch elementary schools to better utilize Hutchinson Elementary School, which is under capacity. This would increase enrollment at Hutchinson and reduce enrollment at Rooney Ranch and Devinny.
Build a new 576, K-5 student elementary school at Coyote Gulch site with potential expansion to 786 students. This is not the district's preferred recommendation.
Lakewood feeder area
Add eight classrooms to Creighton Middle School to convert it to a 6-8 facility. This would increase capacity to 1,100 students from 958 students. The school has a projected 2016-17 enrollment of 714 students.
Add six classrooms each at Belmar and Eiber elementary schools and remove the modular classrooms.
Close Glennon Heights Elementary School and move students to Belmar and Green Mountain elementary schools and Creighton Middle School.
Convert elementary schools to K-5 to reduce enrollment and build capacity into schools.
