Summary:
The Trinidad School District 1 in Colorado is home to three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. While Fisher's Peak Elementary School shows some promising performance, the district's middle and high schools face significant academic challenges, particularly in light of the socioeconomic factors and declining performance trends.
Fisher's Peak Elementary stands out with the highest enrollment and a relatively diverse student population. The school's statewide ranking has been consistent, and it performs better than the district and state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts. In contrast, Trinidad High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and significantly lower test scores, particularly in SAT Reading, Writing, and Math, compared to state averages.
Across the district, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the lower academic performance observed, particularly at the middle and high school levels. Additionally, the district's predominantly Hispanic student population presents both opportunities and challenges in addressing the unique needs and supporting the academic success of diverse student populations.
