Summary:
The Moffat County School District RE: No. 1 in Colorado serves 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district and its schools generally underperform the state averages on standardized assessments, a few standout schools, such as Sunset Elementary School and Ridgeview Elementary School, are outperforming their peers and the district average.
Sunset Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, with students exceeding the district and state averages in CMAS English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. Ridgeview Elementary School also performed well, with 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state on CMAS assessments. In contrast, Moffat County High School and Craig Middle School struggled, with low proficiency rates in subjects like Math and Science.
The district's schools face challenges, including high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.64% at Moffat County High School to 53.85% at Sandrock Elementary. This suggests that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the academic underperformance. The small size of Maybell School, with only 16 students, also presents unique dynamics that warrant further exploration.
