Best Public Schools in La Veta, CO

Summary:

The city of La Veta, Colorado is home to two schools: La Veta Junior-Senior High School serving grades 6-12 and La Veta Elementary School serving grades PK-5. Both schools have seen a decline in their SchoolDigger rankings in recent years, dropping from 4 stars to 2 stars for the junior-senior high school and from 3 stars to 2 stars for the elementary school. While the junior-senior high school has a very high percentage of white students at 95.87%, the elementary school has a more diverse student population with 78.63% white and 18.8% Hispanic students.

Academically, the junior-senior high school performs well in PSAT9 Reading and Writing with 65% proficiency, but lags behind the state average of 46% in PSAT9 Mathematics at only 35% proficiency. Both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with the elementary school at 52.99% and the junior-senior high school at 40.5%. This suggests a need to address socioeconomic challenges and ensure equitable access to educational resources. The small enrollments of 121 students at the junior-senior high school and 117 students at the elementary school may present both advantages and challenges, as smaller class sizes can foster more personalized attention but may also limit the availability of specialized programs and resources.

Overall, the schools in La Veta School District Re-2 face a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. Addressing the declining SchoolDigger rankings, improving mathematics performance, and supporting students from low-income families will be crucial for ensuring the academic success of all students in the district.
