About Fletcher Miller School

Fletcher Miller School is a Jeffco Public Schools school on Kipling Street in Lakewood for students with significant support needs, from preschool through 12th grade and transition services. We are part of the district's continuum of alternative special education placements, and students come to us through the IEP process.

Our students work toward Extended Evidence Outcomes aligned with the general education curriculum and Colorado Academic Standards. Instruction covers literacy, functional communication, math, science and social studies, along with adaptive physical education, music and art. We provide intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy so students can access their learning, and staff work in multidisciplinary teams. Students also take part in art shows, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and adapted athletics, and we use PBIS schoolwide.

Our Lighthouse Program serves students from sixth grade through transition age whose complex behaviors make a neighborhood school program a poor fit. Small classrooms with paraprofessional support focus on functional communication, behavior and sensory regulation, backed by speech and occupational therapists, registered nurses and mental health providers. Preschoolers attend morning or afternoon sessions, and district buses serve our students.
