Why is your open enrollment so high? It looks like your open enrollment percentage (59%) is over half of your total population.
Answer: Sanborn’s attendance boundary is very small in relation to the other schools. Because St. Vrain parents have the option of enrolling in schools outside their boundary, Sanborn has backfilled this enrollment gap with open-enrollment students. The majority of our parents have chosen Sanborn after researching other schools and drive in from surrounding communities. We have students from the following communities that currently drive here to attend Sanborn: Dacono, Frederick, Lyons, Erie, and even Loveland. The neighborhood surrounding Sanborn houses the other 40% of students and these neighbors have been extremely supportive of our school and partner with us to keep kids safe.
Your school hours don’t align with my work schedule, do you have childcare on campus?
Answer: We have a dynamic and flourishing onsite childcare program at Sanborn named Dragons Den. This popular program runs from 7 am to 6 pm every school day and even has special programming for late start days.

Parents should contact Rena Dietz, site manager, for information about this wonderful program.
