Colorado High School

Summary:

Colorado High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Colorado City, Texas, with a student population of 227. The school is part of the Colorado Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 799 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colorado High School has several strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 97.7% to 100% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's dropout rates have also been low, ranging from 0% to 0.5% during the same period. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams has been mixed, with the school outperforming the district in some subjects, such as U.S. History, but underperforming in others, like Algebra I and English I/II Reading. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively well, while Special Education and At-Risk students have struggled compared to their peers in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, Colorado High School performs significantly better than the Wallace Accelerated High School, which is in the same district, in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and overall statewide ranking. However, the Roscoe Collegiate High School, which is in the Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (ISD), outperforms Colorado High School in several academic areas, including test scores and statewide ranking. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 34.12% to 65.2% over the past three years, suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
