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.
