High Schools in Yuma 1 School District

The Yuma 1 School District in Colorado is home to a single high school, Yuma High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data reveals some areas of concern, with academic achievement consistently falling below state averages and the school's statewide ranking declining in recent years.

Yuma High School has an enrollment of 264 students, with a racial makeup of 45.08% White and 53.79% Hispanic. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (57.58%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests like CMAS/Science, SAT, and PSAT10 range from 21.4% to 52%, all of which are below the state averages for Colorado.

The school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 140 out of 221 Colorado high schools in 2021-2022 to 228 out of 349 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide its students with the necessary resources and support to achieve proficiency at the same level as their peers across the state. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance, and targeted interventions and support systems may be necessary to address the unique needs of the student population and improve overall outcomes.
