Overview

Denver Academy of Torah is a K-12 Modern Orthodox Jewish day school established in 1993, serving kindergarten through 12th grade on a single campus. It's affiliated with Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools, and roughly 60% of students receive tuition assistance from the school.

Academics

As a private school, Denver Academy of Torah doesn't participate in Colorado's state assessment reporting the way public schools do, so no proficiency data is available through public sources for this profile.

Neighborhood

The school is located on East Alameda Avenue in Denver -- specific neighborhood-level context wasn't independently verified for this profile.

Crime & safety

Citywide Denver crime data shows strong cross-source agreement, similar to Little Rock earlier in this directory: multiple independent providers describe Denver's overall crime rate as substantially above both the Colorado state average and the national average, with estimates of the gap ranging from roughly 40% to nearly 200% above national depending on the specific metric and source. One source notes Denver's crime is heavily concentrated by neighborhood -- citywide, over 98% of individually analyzed neighborhoods carry an A or B safety grade, with risk concentrated in a small number of lower-graded pockets rather than spread evenly.

As with several other cities in this directory, the citywide average and the neighborhood-level reality can tell different stories: one source found the large majority of individual Denver neighborhoods score well on safety, even though the citywide aggregate looks elevated. This school's specific neighborhood safety grade wasn't independently verified for this profile -- the citywide figures above shouldn't be read as describing this exact block.

Our calculated rating

We don't publish a single proprietary score, and for this school we're not showing one: no academic data is available (private school), and the only safety data sourced is citywide rather than neighborhood-specific. See our ratings methodology.
