Summary:
The schools in the 81125 zip code area of Colorado face significant challenges, with 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 virtual school and 1 alternative school. The schools in this predominantly Hispanic community struggle with low academic performance, poor statewide rankings, and high concentrations of economically disadvantaged students.
The standout schools in this area include Haskin Elementary School, which has the highest enrollment but consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools, and Center High School, the largest high school in the area, which also ranks in the bottom 25% of Colorado high schools. The Academic Recovery Center of San Luis Valley, a small alternative high school, has a unique racial makeup but lacks available data on its performance.
Across the schools in this area, the key metrics and statistics paint a concerning picture. All the schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The schools also struggle with low proficiency rates on standardized tests, with students performing well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. These challenges, coupled with the lack of diversity and the schools' consistently low statewide rankings, suggest that the students in this community may not be receiving the resources and support they need to succeed academically. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational equity in the Center Consolidated School District No. 26 Jt.
