Summary:
The Garfield School District No. Re-2 in Colorado serves 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district's schools serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group across the schools.
Within the district, a few schools stand out for their academic performance. Riverside School, a middle school, has the highest proficiency rates on CMAS tests in English Language Arts and Math, as well as the highest 8th grade CMAS Science proficiency. Kathryn Senor Elementary School also performs well, with the second-highest CMAS proficiency rates and the highest 5th grade CMAS Science proficiency. At the high school level, Coal Ridge High School outperforms the other high schools on SAT and PSAT tests.
However, the district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates on CMAS tests, with most schools performing well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.7% to 50.9%, suggest that socioeconomic status may be a contributing factor to the district's academic challenges. The district's leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes across all schools.
