Summary:
The Lake County School District No. R-1 in Colorado is home to two elementary schools: Lake County Elementary School and Lake County Intermediate School. The district as a whole is ranked 115 out of 116 districts in Colorado, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Academically, both schools in the district struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, at the Intermediate School, only 22% of students are proficient in ELA, compared to the Colorado average of 44.1%, and just 17.2% are proficient in Math, compared to 34.2% statewide. The district also faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of students at the Intermediate School qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the student population is diverse, with a majority Hispanic enrollment, the low academic performance and high poverty rates suggest that the schools in this district are struggling to meet the needs of all their students. Addressing these underlying issues will be crucial for the district to improve and provide a better educational experience for the children of the Lake County community.
