Aurora Central Campus

Summary:

Aurora Central Campus is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Aurora, Colorado, which is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28, a low-performing district with a 0-star rating. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (over 68%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 82% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite serving a high-need population, Aurora Central Campus consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to 14% for the district and 31% for the state. The performance gap between Aurora Central Campus and the district/state averages appears to be widening over time, and the school has not shown significant improvement in test scores in recent years. Nearby charter schools, such as Vanguard Classical School - East and Lotus School for Excellence, generally outperform Aurora Central Campus on academic measures, even though they serve similar demographic populations.

The stark performance differences between Aurora Central Campus and the surrounding schools, despite serving similar student populations, raise questions about equity and access to quality education. The persistent underperformance of Aurora Central Campus compared to the district and state, as well as the success of nearby alternative schools, suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of evidence-based strategies to support the academic and social-emotional needs of the students at Aurora Central Campus.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

I like central high school its the best school. Close Quote

by a citizen
Wednesday, January 25, 2012

I am a former student who graduated in 2004. Without Aurora Central I would not be on the path I am today, I would not be a student at the University of Colorado Denver, nor would I be getting my degree in English and secondary education. Central and the teachers inspired me to give back to the Urban school that gave me the tools and confidence I needed to succeed. We may not of had enough books but what I had was much more important - great teachers that cared about me and my classmates. As I get ready to graduate as a teacher I would find it a honor to work for the school that has so much to offer but gets looked past because of its history. And it is important to remember that what makes a good school are its teachers. I have memories and friends that I will cherish for a life time and I just hope I become the teacher that so many teachers there have inspired me to become. It offers to teach more than academics, it teaches students the tools they need to succeed. It gives hope to students who have never known what hope feels like. It gives us a chance to become the person we are meant to become, to succeed when people may not think it is possible. And it is important to note that I attended Arapahoe High my freshman year and though Arapahoe is a terrific school I would always choose Central in heart beat, because it gave me something that Arapahoe never could - a chance, hope, a dream, and pride to be apart of something so wonderful and unique. I am proud to say I am a Aurora Central Trojan! Close Quote

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.
