Summary:
The 80805 zip code in Colorado is home to a single alternative public school, Bethune Public Schools, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 108 students. This school stands out for its predominantly White (52.78%) and Hispanic (43.52%) student population, as well as its below-average performance on standardized tests compared to the state.
Bethune Public Schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.2%) and Math (24.4%) fall significantly short of the state averages of 43.7% and 32.9%, respectively. The school also underperforms the state on PSAT10 assessments, with a 56% proficiency rate in Reading and Writing and a 38% proficiency rate in Mathematics. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.4 may provide an opportunity for more personalized instruction and support to address these academic challenges.
Another notable characteristic of Bethune Public Schools is its high percentage of students (65.74%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. Overall, the data highlights the unique challenges faced by this small alternative school serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, and the potential benefits of its low student-teacher ratio in providing more individualized attention and instruction.
