Summary:
The city of Bayfield, Colorado is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in the Bayfield School District No. 10Jt-R face significant academic challenges, with all schools consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Colorado.
Bayfield High School stands out with a relatively large enrollment of 423 students and a diverse student population, but struggles with low proficiency rates, especially in math. Similarly, Bayfield Intermediate School has a large enrollment of 295 students and a diverse student body, yet also performs poorly on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts.
Across the district, the schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 30% to 37%, indicating that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that staffing resources may not be the primary issue. The Bayfield School District faces systemic challenges that will require a comprehensive approach to improve curriculum, instructional practices, and access to educational resources for all students.
