Summary:
Calhan District No. RJ1 in Colorado is home to a single high school, Calhan Secondary School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a student population of 223, with a predominantly White student body (85.65%) and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 47.53%, indicating a significant portion of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Calhan Secondary School's performance on state assessments is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school excels in 8th grade science and 9th grade PSAT reading and writing, it underperforms in areas such as 11th grade SAT math and 7th grade CMAS math. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 126th out of 221 Colorado high schools in 2021-2022 to 194th out of 349 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied between 2 and 3 out of 5 stars.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1, the lack of racial diversity and the variability in academic performance suggest areas for improvement. The high free/reduced lunch rate also highlights the need to address socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school's educational outcomes. As the sole high school in the Calhan District No. RJ1, Calhan Secondary School plays a crucial role in the educational landscape of the local community.
