Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceHigh Point Academy is a high school in Aurora, Colorado, part of State Charter School Institute. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for High Point Academy are almost always made at the district level. If State Charter School Institute closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the State Charter School Institute forecast).
Rural districts run the longest bus routes over the least-treated roads, so they typically close at lower snowfall totals than nearby urban districts — often on forecasts that would leave a city district open.
High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.
Colorado averages about 57 inches of snow per year. Front Range districts close most often during spring upslope storms that can dump 1-2 feet overnight.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with State Charter School Institute before acting on it.
