Summary:
The Canon City, Colorado school district, known as Fremont Re-1, consists of 8 schools serving grades K-12, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is ranked 58 out of 116 in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance. Canon Exploratory School and Lincoln School of Science and Technology are both high-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 50% and 45% of Colorado elementary schools respectively and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The highest-performing school in the district is Mount View Core Knowledge Charter School, a public charter elementary/middle school that ranks in the top 40% of Colorado elementary schools and earns 3 out of 5 stars.
However, the district as a whole has room for improvement, as most schools perform below the state averages on standardized tests. There is a clear correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic achievement, with the schools serving higher-poverty populations tending to have the lowest test scores. Addressing these disparities and replicating the successful practices of the top-performing schools could help raise achievement across the Fremont Re-1 district.
