Windsor High School

Summary:

Windsor High School is a public high school serving 1,130 students in grades 9-12 in Windsor, Colorado, which is part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4. The school has a predominantly white student population, with test scores generally on par with or slightly above district and state averages. Windsor High School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.

While Windsor High School's performance has been relatively consistent, with a 3- to 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, the analysis highlights the strong performance of nearby charter schools like Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School, which ranked 9th out of 349 Colorado high schools in 2023-2024. These charter schools generally outperform Windsor High School on various metrics, including test scores and statewide rankings. The data suggests that Windsor High School's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to some nearby schools with higher poverty rates.

The analysis also reveals that Windsor High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 57th out of 199 Colorado high schools for Hispanic students in 2023-2024, but only 154th out of 229 for white students. This indicates the school is doing a relatively better job of supporting its Hispanic student population. These findings provide valuable insights for the school and district to consider as they work to continuously improve educational outcomes for all 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.
