York International

Summary:

York International is an alternative public magnet school located in Thornton, Colorado, serving grades KG-12 with a student population of 817. The school is part of the Mapleton School District No. 1, which is ranked 112 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

York International consistently underperforms the Mapleton School District and the state of Colorado in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.8% of York International students were proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts, compared to 44.1% at the state level. The school's performance on SAT and PSAT tests is also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, York International has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.21%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Stargate Charter School and Westgate Community School, which have a more diverse student population.

The high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at York International, ranging from 43.48% to 66.1% over the past three years, is significantly higher than the nearby charter schools. This, coupled with the school's lower test scores, indicates a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. The underperformance of York International compared to nearby charter schools and the broader state averages suggests the need for significant interventions and support from the Mapleton School District to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's 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.
