Each year,
NEWSWEEK picks the best high schools in the country
based on how hard
school staffs
work to challenge students with advanced-placement
college-level courses
and tests.
Just over 1,600 schools—only 6 percent of all the
public schools in the
U.S.—made
the list. Only 29 Colorado schools made the
list, and of those
Evergreen was
ranked #8.
Evergreen High School Ranked 374 in the
U.S.
Three other Jefferson County Schools
made this year's list:
Lakewood ranks 229
Conifer ranks 514
D’Evelyn ranks 663
“The fact that our Jeffco schools showed up on
this impressive list is proof that our staff does
an excellent job of providing all students with
a strong foundation,” said Jeffco Superintendent
Cindy Stevenson. “We’re very proud of that in
Jeffco.”

Regional
Transportation District (RTD):
For those traveling into Denver, there are four RTD park-n-ride bus stops in
Evergreen located at
- El Rancho just before I-70,
- CR 65 in Bergen Park,
- Christ the King Catholic Church above Evergreen Lake, and the
- Lutheran Church of the Cross on Meadow Drive.
Fare ranges from $1.15 to $3.50 each way. For scheduled pick-up times or more
information, call 303-299-6000 or 1-800-366-7433 or visit
www.RTD-Denver.com.
RTD Call-n-Ride:
Another transportation option in Evergreen is the RTD Call-n-Ride. Service is
provided within the boundaries of the Evergreen Metropolitan District, which is
divided into two zones, Zone A – the area north of Stagecoach Blvd., and Zone B
– the area to the south. Ride requests are scheduled by the driver of the zone
from which the ride would be departing, and should be made a minimum of one hour
in advance. Two bright green buses provide curb-to-curb rides for people of all
ages who do not need personal assistance. Call-n-Ride meets the needs of those
who want to commute to the Park-n-Rides, school, work, shopping and
appointments, or other personal outings.
-
Call-n-Ride information is available by calling 303-944-7451.
Rides are scheduled by zone:
- Zone A (north of Stagecoach Blvd) is 303-944-7474
- Zone B (south of Stagecoach Blvd.) is 303-944-5777.
Mountain Wheels:
Mountain Wheels provides the general public with a wide range of
transportation options. Seniors and disabled persons are able to maintain their
independence by not having to rely on others for transportation. Trip reasons
include grocery and other shopping, medical and business appointments, personal
and many others. Door-to-door service is available not only within our
community, but outside the community as well, such as trips to the Denver area.
Personal support and assistance are provided by the Mountain Wheels drivers to
clients with disabilities and those with wheelchairs or walkers, as well as
those with packages and groceries. We ask that rides be scheduled a minimum of
two working days in advance.
For more information about or to schedule a ride with Mountain Wheels,
please call the Senior Resource Center’s transportation department at 303-679-2552.
