The school is part of the Strasburg School District 31J, which is ranked 83 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Strasburg High School faces several challenges, including declining statewide rankings, achievement gaps among student subgroups, and lower-than-average test scores compared to the state. The school has a higher percentage of White students (53.03%) and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (37.99%) compared to the state average. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 19% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 35%. The school's rankings for specific student groups, such as Hispanic students, White students, and Gifted and Talented students, are generally in the lower half of Colorado high schools. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 18.79% in 2020-2021 to 29.02% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

However, Strasburg High School's strong performance in supporting special education students, with a ranking of 19 out of 77 Colorado high schools in 2021-2022, suggests areas of strength that could be leveraged to drive overall improvement. Compared to nearby schools, Strasburg High School generally performs better than Deer Trail Junior-Senior High School, which is ranked lower and has lower test scores. However, Byers Junior-Senior High School, another nearby school, outperforms Strasburg High School on several metrics, including test scores and statewide ranking.

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.
