Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Del Norte, Colorado, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 188 and is part of the Sargent School District No. Re-33J, which is ranked 87 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Del Norte High has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (60.11%) compared to the state average, its test scores and college readiness assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts (45.1%) and CMAS/Math (26.8%) are below the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. Similarly, the school's performance on college readiness assessments, such as the SAT and PSAT, is also lower than the state averages. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.4 to 12.7 over the past three school years, could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Center High School and Sargent Senior High School, Del Norte High generally performs better in terms of test scores and college readiness assessments. However, it still lags behind the state averages, indicating room for improvement. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students perform better than the overall school population, ranking 96 out of 199 Colorado high schools for Hispanic students in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be providing targeted support or interventions for this subgroup.

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.
