Eaton High School consistently performs above state and district averages on standardized tests, with 44.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in CMAS Science compared to the state average of 24.8%. The school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with around 70% White students and 27% Hispanic students, which differs from nearby schools like Greeley Central High School and Northridge High School, which have higher percentages of Hispanic students.

Eaton High School's consistent academic performance, with a statewide ranking ranging from 123 to 163 out of 349 Colorado high schools over the past several years, suggests a stable and effective educational program. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is generally higher for female students and White students compared to male students and Hispanic students, indicating potential areas for improvement in addressing achievement gaps. The relatively higher socioeconomic status and lower student-teacher ratio of Eaton High School may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Greeley Central High School and Northridge High School, which have lower overall performance and higher percentages of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
