Summary:
The city of Colorado City, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary/middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative high school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, with Colorado High School outperforming the other two schools across various metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios.
Colorado High School stands out with a 97.7% 4-year graduation rate, the highest in the district, as well as the best test scores across STAAR EOC exams. In contrast, Wallace Accelerated High School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85.71% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and has significantly lower test scores and a higher student-teacher ratio of 29.7.
The data also reveals disparities in funding, with Colorado High School spending $15,250 per student, compared to $10,369 at Colorado Elementary And Middle and $12,608 at Wallace Accelerated High School. This suggests that the Colorado Independent School District may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and program offerings to better serve the diverse needs of its student population and address the performance gaps across its schools.
