Summary:
The Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-1 in Colorado serves 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and generally underperforming state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math.
Among the standout schools, Gilcrest Elementary School outperforms the district and state in several CMAS test areas, including 5th grade science, ELA, and 3rd-5th grade math. Pete Mirich Elementary School also performs above the district average in 5th grade science and 3rd grade ELA. However, the district's middle schools struggle the most, with South Valley Middle School having only 6.8% proficient in overall CMAS math compared to 20.9% district and 34.2% state.
The high free/reduced lunch rates across the district, ranging from 41.51% at Valley High School to 51.42% at North Valley Middle School, suggest significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the lower academic performance. The district's diverse student populations, with Hispanic students making up the majority at most campuses, also highlight the need for equitable educational opportunities and support.
