Mapleton School District No. 1

The Mapleton School District No. 1 in Colorado is home to 19 diverse schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 6 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with many schools having high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their academic performance. Welby Community School of the Arts has the highest proficiency rates in CMAS Science and English Language Arts, while Adventure Elementary and Achieve Academy also demonstrate strong CMAS scores in various subjects. The district's online school, Mapleton Online, stands out for its high CMAS English Language Arts proficiency across all grades.

However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with many schools struggling to meet state-level proficiency benchmarks. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Global Intermediate Academy and Global Leadership Academy, tend to have lower test score proficiency rates. The district's overall performance on CMAS and SAT/PSAT assessments is generally below the state averages, suggesting opportunities for improvement to support student success and close the achievement gaps.
