Fremont Re-3

The Fremont Re-3 district in Colorado is home to two schools: Cotopaxi Junior-Senior High School and Cotopaxi Elementary School. While Cotopaxi Junior-Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, both schools face challenges in terms of academic performance and student demographics.

Cotopaxi Junior-Senior High School serves grades 6-12 and has an enrollment of 102 students. The school's performance on CMAS/PSAT9 tests is mixed, with above-average scores in reading/writing but below-average scores in math. In contrast, Cotopaxi Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 88 students, has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools and underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.

Both schools have a highly homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as White. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community. These factors may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
