Summary:
The Dolores School District No. Re-4A in Colorado has only one elementary school, Dolores Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 269 students. While the school has some strengths, such as above-average science proficiency and a favorable student-teacher ratio, it appears to be a relatively low-performing school within the district and the state, with academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts, below state averages.
Dolores Elementary School has a homogeneous student population, with 78.44% of students identifying as White and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly 44% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may be impacting the school's academic performance, which is generally below the district and state averages on Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) tests.
The Dolores School District No. Re-4A as a whole is also performing below average, with a district rank of 63 out of 116 districts in Colorado and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the challenges faced by Dolores Elementary School are not isolated but rather reflective of the broader performance of the district, which may require focused efforts to improve educational outcomes for students in the area.
