Summary:
The Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-1 in Colorado is home to 3 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, Pete Mirich Elementary School, Platteville Elementary School, and Gilcrest Elementary School, serve a diverse student population with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the 3 schools, Gilcrest Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grades, as well as the strongest 5th grade Science and English Language Arts scores. Gilcrest also boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio of 13:1, indicating smaller class sizes. In contrast, the other two schools, Pete Mirich Elementary and Platteville Elementary, lag behind both the district and state averages in many academic areas, suggesting potential performance gaps that need to be addressed.
Overall, the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-1 faces challenges, with all three schools seeing declines in their statewide rankings over the past three years and the district itself ranked 84 out of 116 in Colorado with a 1-star rating. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch also indicate that these schools may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance, requiring targeted support and resources to address these issues and improve outcomes for all students in the district.
