Finding a best-fit school for your student and family can feel overwhelming. Denver's nationally recognized school choice system offers tremendous opportunity, but the number and variety of options available can also make the process more complex.

​

Colorado is home to 178 school districts. Denver Public Schools (DPS), the state's largest district, includes nearly 100 elementary schools, more than a dozen K-8 schools, almost 30 middle schools, nearly a dozen 6-12 schools, and more than 40 high schools. In addition, Colorado has more than 500 private schools, each with its own admissions processes, enrollment timelines, age requirements, and educational philosophy.

Since 2015, Keely has worked with families throughout Colorado and those relocating to the state, helping them make informed educational decisions based on objective research, available programming, family priorities, and documented student needs. She supports families exploring both public and private school options from preschool through high school.

She also has extensive experience researching gifted, highly gifted, twice-exceptional (2e), and special education programming throughout Colorado. In matters involving learning differences and disabilities, she partners with Meryl Duguay, Founder of Duguay Educational Consulting & Advocacy, to provide families with additional expertise and support.

In addition, Keely works with divorced, divorcing, and two-household families navigating school choice decisions, educational disputes, and relocation-related educational questions.
