The school is part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, which is ranked 16th out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Colorado, ranking 9th out of 349 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students perform exceptionally well on standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, where 67% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 41% for the district and 31% for the state. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, with a relatively low percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby Severance High School and Windsor High School.

Another notable aspect of Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School is its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at only 5.87% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than the nearby schools and the state average. This suggests the school serves a relatively affluent student population, which could have implications for the school's resources and the support services it provides to students from lower-income backgrounds. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.6, which could contribute to its strong academic performance and be an attractive feature for families considering the school.

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.
