While the overall academic performance of the schools in this area is below the state averages, Colton Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, with higher statewide rankings and test scores compared to the other schools in the Colton School District 53.
Colton High School has shown some improvement in recent years, with its statewide ranking increasing from 240th out of 241 schools in 2021-2022 to 154th out of 258 schools in 2022-2023. However, the district as a whole continues to underperform compared to the state averages, with all four schools struggling to meet academic benchmarks in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns, with high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at Colton Elementary School, suggesting the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The Colton Virtual Academy also faces unique challenges, with a very high student-teacher ratio that could impact the quality of personalized support and instruction provided to its students.
