Summary:
The West End School District No. Re-2 in Colorado is home to three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across these institutions, with some standout performances and persistent challenges.
Naturita Elementary School stands out for its improvement in statewide rankings, rising from 725th out of 962 Colorado elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 601st out of 943 in 2023-2024. The school also boasts relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, though its math performance lags behind district and state averages. In contrast, Nucla High School has shown progress, climbing from 247th out of 349 Colorado high schools in 2022-2023 to 206th out of 349 in 2023-2024, with strong performance in reading and writing but lower math scores.
Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 53.97% at Nucla High School to 68% at Nucla Middle School. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of these students and their families. Additionally, the district's overall academic performance, particularly in mathematics, appears to be below state averages, indicating room for improvement in core subject areas across the West End School District No. Re-2.
