Moffat County High School

Summary:

Moffat County High School is a public high school in Craig, Colorado, serving around 560 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Moffat County School District RE: No. 1, which is ranked 80 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Moffat County High School has a higher percentage of White students (65.89%) compared to the nearby Hayden High School (83.48%), it has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (30%) than Hayden High School (13.04%). Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, with low performance on standardized tests like the SAT, where only 9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 31%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for White students and Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% and 30-40% of Colorado high schools, respectively.

Moffat County High School also faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.84% to 39.37% over the past three school years. This is higher than the 24.35% rate at Hayden High School. Additionally, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.4-18.5, compared to 14.3 at Hayden High School. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance over time, suggest that Moffat County High School may need to implement comprehensive, data-driven interventions to improve educational outcomes for all its students.

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.
