Cripple Creek-Victor Junior-Senior High School

Q: Is Cripple Creek-Victor Junior-Senior High School a good school?

Cripple Creek-Victor Junior-Senior High School ranks 250 th of 349 Colorado high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Cripple Creek-Victor Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the small town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, with a student population of 176. While the school has a predominantly White student body, it faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the state and nearby schools.

Cripple Creek-Victor Junior-Senior High School's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests like CMAS/English Language Arts (15.1% vs. 44.1% statewide) and CMAS/Math (7.5% vs. 34.2% statewide) being significantly lower than the state averages. This trend has persisted over the years, leading to the school's statewide ranking fluctuating in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (31.44% to 48.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to nearby schools like Coronado High School, Cheyenne Mountain High School, and Woodland Park High School.

The school's academic challenges are further highlighted when comparing its performance to nearby schools. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, Cripple Creek-Victor Junior-Senior High School's proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts (21.7%) and CMAS/Math (4.3%) were significantly lower than those of Coronado High School (48% and 24%, respectively), Cheyenne Mountain High School (84% and 60%, respectively), and Woodland Park High School (68% and 44%, respectively). This trend of declining performance over time suggests that addressing the school's academic challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions and collaboration with the local community.

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.
