Rangeview High School

Summary:

Rangeview High School is a public high school in Aurora, Colorado, serving 2,051 students in grades 9-12. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a significant representation of Hispanic (48.66%), African American (19.41%), and White (18.38%) students, which is higher than the nearby Cherry Creek School District.

However, Rangeview High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in SAT Reading and Writing (42%), SAT Mathematics (24%), and CMAS Science (16.9%) were significantly below the state averages of 58%, 31%, and 24.8%, respectively. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, ranking relatively higher for African American students (3 out of 38 schools in Colorado) but lower for English Language Learners (28 out of 36 schools), Special Education students (77 out of 84 schools), and Gifted and Talented students (114 out of 140 schools).

Rangeview High School's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 203 out of 411 Colorado high schools in 2018-2019 to 231 out of 349 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools in the Cherry Creek School District, such as Grandview High School and Cherry Creek High School, Rangeview's academic performance is significantly lower. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Rangeview High School (61.43%) suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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.

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.
