Summary:
The city of Kiowa, Colorado is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Kiowa Elementary School, Kiowa High School, and Kiowa Middle School. These schools, which are part of School District No. C-2, have a mix of strengths and areas for improvement based on their academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics.
Kiowa Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, particularly in 5th grade, though it lags behind in Math compared to district and state averages. The school has a high percentage of white students at 82.72%, which is notably higher than the state average. Kiowa High School performs well in Reading and Writing on standardized tests, but struggles in Math, and Kiowa Middle School shows strong ELA proficiency in 7th grade but lower performance in Math and Science.
Across all three schools, there is a consistent pattern of underperformance in Math, which suggests a need for targeted interventions to address this achievement gap. Additionally, the schools in Kiowa have a relatively homogeneous racial makeup, with a high percentage of white students, and there are socioeconomic disparities, with the high school having a significantly higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to the elementary and middle schools. These factors may impact student outcomes and require further attention to promote educational equity and student success within the School District No. C-2.
