Summary:
The 80105 zip code area is home to two small schools, Deer Trail Elementary School and Deer Trail Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Deer Trail School District No. 26J. These schools face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests and high rates of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Deer Trail Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 175 students, with a diverse population that is 42.29% Hispanic and 52.57% White. However, the school consistently performs poorly on CMAS tests, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Additionally, the school has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 40%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. Similarly, Deer Trail Junior-Senior High School has a small enrollment of 150 students and a similar racial demographic, but also struggles academically, with low proficiency rates on CMAS and SAT tests compared to state averages.
The consistently low academic performance of these schools, coupled with the high rates of economically disadvantaged students, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the schools and their students. Strategies such as increased funding, teacher professional development, student support services, and community engagement may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes in this area and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
