Summary:
The West End School District No. Re-2 in Colorado has only one elementary school, Naturita Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 154 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (90.91%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (7.14%) and Native American (0.65%) students.
Naturita Elementary School has seen some improvement in its performance over the past decade, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and improving its ranking from 725 out of 962 Colorado elementary schools to 601 out of 943. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, remains below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math across multiple grade levels. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (56.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Naturita Elementary School has made progress, there is still room for improvement to reach higher levels of academic achievement. Addressing the school's consistent underperformance, high poverty rates, and lack of racial/ethnic diversity through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and inclusion could be key to providing a high-quality education for all students in the West End School District No. Re-2.
