Summary:
The city of Fort Lupton, Colorado is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools face demographic challenges with a high percentage of Hispanic students and students from low-income families, one elementary school, Leo William Butler Elementary School, stands out for its strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages on CMAS English Language Arts and Math tests.
The other elementary school, Twombly Elementary School, also has some bright spots, particularly in 3rd grade CMAS ELA and Math. However, the middle and high schools in the Weld re-8 schools district consistently rank in the bottom 10% of Colorado schools, indicating significant performance gaps compared to state averages, especially in SAT Reading and Writing.
Overall, the Fort Lupton schools face demographic challenges that may contribute to their lower academic performance, but the data suggests that targeted efforts to improve proficiency in core subjects like ELA and Math, particularly in the middle and high school grades, could help the district make progress in closing these gaps and better serving its students.
