Soroco High School

Summary:

Soroco High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Oak Creek, Colorado, with a student population of just 99 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, the school consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments and has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby Steamboat Springs High School.

Soroco High School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 67% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, compared to the state average of 58%. Additionally, 52.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in CMAS Science, significantly higher than the state average of 24.8%. This consistent academic excellence has earned the school's district, South Routt School District No. Re 3, a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 13 out of 116 school districts in Colorado.

While Soroco High School has a predominantly white student population, with 82.83% of students identifying as white, it also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Steamboat Springs High School, which has only 7.84% of students in this category. Additionally, Soroco High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 students per teacher, lower than the 17.4 students per teacher at Steamboat Springs High School. These unique characteristics provide a small school environment that may offer benefits such as more personalized attention and stronger student-teacher relationships, but also present potential challenges in terms of limited course offerings and extracurricular activities.

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.
