Haxtun School District No. Re-2J

The Haxtun School District No. Re-2J in Colorado operates two schools: Haxtun Elementary School and Haxtun Junior/Senior High School. While the elementary school struggles with below-average test scores, the high school stands out for its strong performance on science and reading/writing assessments.

Haxtun Elementary School has a high percentage of white students (91.48%) and a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate (30.11%), which may contribute to its declining performance on CMAS English Language Arts and Math assessments. In contrast, Haxtun Junior/Senior High School is outperforming the state average on 8th grade CMAS Science assessments and performing well on PSAT and SAT Reading and Writing assessments, though it faces challenges in PSAT and SAT Math.

Overall, the Haxtun School District presents a mixed picture, with areas of strength, such as the high school's science and reading/writing performance, as well as significant room for improvement, particularly in addressing the elementary school's academic challenges and the district's lack of racial diversity. The district may need to focus on curriculum review, targeted interventions, and addressing the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement to ensure all students in the Haxtun community receive a high-quality education.
