The two high schools located in School District N. 14 in Colorado, Adams City High School and Lester R Arnold High School, are consistently among the lowest-performing high schools in the state. Both schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations, with high percentages of students from low-income families receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Both schools have consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Colorado, with Lester R Arnold High School ranking 349th out of 349 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.
The challenges faced by these schools are likely systemic, as School District N. 14 is ranked 116th out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating.
