Best Public Schools in Zip Code 81090


Summary:

The 81090 zip code area is home to two small schools - Walsh Elementary School and Walsh High School, both part of the Walsh School District No. Re-1. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and exhibit varying academic performance.

Walsh Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 119 students, with a majority white student population (78.99%). The school performs slightly above average on CMAS/Science and ELA tests compared to the district and state, and has a small student-teacher ratio of 11:1. In contrast, Walsh High School has an even smaller enrollment of 64 students and a more diverse student population, with 65.62% white, 25% Hispanic, and 3.12% Native American. The high school outperforms the district and state on CMAS/Math tests and also has a small student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1.

The small school sizes and high free/reduced lunch rates in both schools suggest these institutions serve a rural or isolated community with limited resources and socioeconomic challenges. While the elementary school performs slightly above average on some tests, the high school stands out for its stronger performance on CMAS/Math, indicating potential differences in curriculum, teaching methods, or other factors between the two schools. The varying racial diversity between the elementary and high school also presents an interesting area for further exploration.
