School Districts and Locations
Q: Hello there Colorado Information Marketplace. I am curious if you have School Districts and Locations in one dataset. I need them combined for my project.
A: Thanks for your data inquiry on School Locations. Unfortunately we don’t have these datasets combined into a single download, but you can find both separately on the Colorado Information Marketplace at data.colorado.gov.
I'm sure you've already found the GeoJSON/shapefile for School Districts of Colorado that was published by Go Code Colorado and the Department of Local Affairs in 2016, but you're right - the geospatial data on school locations is a bit harder to find.
The State's GIS office has created a dataset called Community Anchor Institutions that has k-12 schools as one of the data types. This dataset is only in its third year of maturity, so it is possible that some schools are not through the quality assurance steps required for public release, but it should be a good start for you.
