Summary:
The city of Fort Carson, Colorado is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Fountain School District No. 8. While the schools generally perform below state averages in academic proficiency, Carson Middle School stands out as the top-performing school, ranking in the top 66% of Colorado middle schools. Patriot Elementary also demonstrates stronger academic performance compared to its peers, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math.
The schools in the Fort Carson area serve a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and ethnic groups. However, they all have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 44% to 52%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The student-teacher ratios are generally low, suggesting a favorable learning environment, but the district-wide academic challenges, particularly in math, suggest a need for targeted improvement strategies.
Overall, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement within the Fort Carson school district. While Carson Middle School and Patriot Elementary demonstrate some positive performance indicators, the district as a whole faces challenges in ensuring equitable educational opportunities and improving student outcomes, particularly in the area of mathematics.
