School District No. C-2

School District No. C-2 in Colorado is home to three schools: Kiowa Elementary School, Kiowa High School, and Kiowa Middle School. The district serves a diverse student population, with varying academic performance and equity concerns across the schools.

Kiowa High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 198 out of 349 Colorado high schools and excelling in SAT Reading and Writing assessments. In contrast, Kiowa Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts. All three schools, as well as the overall School District No. C-2, struggle with low mathematics proficiency rates compared to state averages.

The district's student population also reflects potential equity concerns, with Kiowa Elementary School and Kiowa Middle School having predominantly white student bodies, while Kiowa High School is more diverse. Additionally, the high free and reduced lunch rates, particularly at Kiowa High School, suggest that the schools may be serving a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic performance.
