Best Public Schools in Walsh, CO

Summary:

The city of Walsh, Colorado is home to two schools: Walsh Elementary School and Walsh High School, both part of the Walsh School District No. Re-1. While Walsh Elementary School demonstrates some academic strengths, the data suggests both schools face socioeconomic challenges that may impact student outcomes.

Walsh Elementary School stands out for its relatively high performance in CMAS/Science proficiency, exceeding both district and state averages. The school also shows above-average CMAS/English Language Arts proficiency in grade 5. However, it lags behind in CMAS/Math proficiency compared to district and state benchmarks. In contrast, Walsh High School lacks statewide performance data, making it difficult to assess the school's academic standing.

Both Walsh Elementary School and Walsh High School have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the racial demographics differ between the two schools, with Walsh Elementary having a higher percentage of white students and Walsh High having a higher percentage of Hispanic students, which could suggest potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation.
