Summary:
The city of Rye, Colorado is home to two public schools, Rye Elementary School and Rye High School, both part of the Pueblo County School District 70. While Rye Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in several academic areas, Rye High School's performance is more mixed, with some strengths and some areas for improvement.
Rye Elementary School stands out with its strong academic performance, particularly in CMAS Science and CMAS ELA, where it exceeds the district and state averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1 is relatively low, which may contribute to its success. However, the school's student population is predominantly White (73.65%), and half of the students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rate of 50.48%.
In contrast, Rye High School's academic performance is more varied. While the school excels in SAT Reading and Writing, it lags behind the district and state in CMAS Science and SAT Math. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1 is also relatively low, but its student population is similarly lacking in diversity, with 75.94% of students identifying as White. The free/reduced lunch rate at Rye High School is 43.61%, suggesting that a significant portion of the student body comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
