The Local newsletter is your free, daily guide to life in Colorado. For locals, by locals.
The August issue of 5280 won’t be out until next Friday, but I wanted to give our web readers a sneak peek at the cover (click the thumbnail for a larger version). It’s a great issue front-to-back, but it’s the education cover story that’s sure to get folks talking. We put 30 Denver-area public and private high schools under the microscope, ranking them according to a variety of criteria. Which school comes out top? You’ll have to wait until next week, but let’s just say a lot of people are going to be surprised.

5280 is here to guide you through the of Denver—where to eat, drink, and travel in and around the city.
