When compared to nearby charter schools like Colorado Early Colleges Fort Collins and Colorado Early Colleges Online Campus, Colorado Early Colleges Windsor stands out with its consistently high test scores and low student-teacher ratio. The school also outperforms nearby traditional public high schools like Loveland High School, Severance High School, and Mountain View High School on most academic measures, including CMAS, PSAT, and SAT assessments. However, the school's relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students may raise questions about equity and access for underserved populations.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
