Summary:
The city of Simla, Colorado is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Simla Elementary School, Simla High School, and Simla Junior High School. These schools are part of the Big Sandy School District No. 100J.
Simla Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 303 out of 933 Colorado elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages in CMAS/English Language Arts, CMAS/Math, and CMAS/Science proficiency. In contrast, Simla High School has a more mixed performance, ranking 80 out of 349 Colorado high schools with a 4-star rating, but underperforming in SAT/Mathematics. Simla Junior High School also performs well, ranking 137 out of 485 Colorado middle schools with a 4-star rating and outperforming state and district averages in CMAS/English Language Arts.
Across the schools, the student population is predominantly white, with Hispanic students making up the second-largest racial group. The schools also serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 44.34% at Simla High School to 64.46% at Simla Elementary School. This socioeconomic factor may influence the schools' academic performance and resource allocation, and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
