Greeley West High School

Summary:

Greeley West High School is a public high school in Greeley, Colorado, serving 1,885 students in grades 9-12. The school faces several key challenges, including a high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, consistently low test scores and school rankings, and underperformance compared to nearby schools.

Greeley West High School has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 71%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Union Colony Preparatory School and Early College Academy. The school consistently underperforms the state and Greeley School District No. 6 averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in SAT Reading and Writing (39%) and SAT Mathematics (16%) significantly lower than the state averages (58% and 31%, respectively). Greeley West High School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, with a ranking of 280 out of 349 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

The high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students (around 64% receive free or reduced-price lunch) at Greeley West High School may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student populations. The poor performance of Greeley West High School, as well as other schools in the Greeley School District No. 6, which is ranked 97 out of 116 districts in Colorado, highlights the need for significant improvements in educational quality and student outcomes across the district.

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.
