Summary:
The 81101 zip code area of Colorado is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools (with 1 alternative school and 1 online school), all part of the Alamosa School District No. Re-11J. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant percentage of White students, and face challenges in academic performance, particularly in mathematics, likely influenced by high rates of economic disadvantage among the student body.
Alamosa High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with 582 students, and a relatively diverse student population. While the school is ranked in the middle range of Colorado high schools, it performs below state averages in both reading/writing and mathematics proficiency on standardized tests. In contrast, the Alamosa Alternative Education School serves a smaller population of 43 students, with an even more diverse student body and the highest free/reduced lunch rate among the schools at 79.07%.
Across the schools in the 81101 zip code, the student-teacher ratios vary from 14.4 to 18.4, with the alternative school having the highest ratio. The presence of an alternative education school and an online school within the area suggests the district's efforts to cater to the diverse needs of its student population. However, the overall academic performance challenges and high rates of economic disadvantage among the students indicate that there is still room for improvement to ensure all students have access to quality educational opportunities.
