Summary:
The 80736 zip code area is home to two small schools - Caliche Elementary School and Caliche Junior-Senior High School, both part of the School District No. Re-1 Valley. While the schools have a predominantly white student population, they face challenges in academic performance, with test scores consistently below district and state averages. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, suggest a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.
Caliche Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 136 students, with a majority white student population (76.47%) and a high free/reduced lunch rate of 46.32%. The school consistently performs below the district and state averages on CMAS tests in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In contrast, Caliche Junior-Senior High School has an even smaller enrollment of 112 students, with a slightly higher percentage of white students (82.14%) and a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 30.36%. The high school's performance on CMAS and SAT/PSAT tests is mixed, with some grades performing better than others, but still below the district and state averages.
Despite the small enrollments, the schools have different student-teacher ratios, with Caliche Elementary School having 20.7 students per teacher and Caliche Junior-Senior High School having 10.1 students per teacher. This could be a positive factor for the high school, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 80736 zip code area face challenges in academic performance and socioeconomic factors, which may require further investigation and targeted strategies for improvement.
