Summary:
The Trinidad School District 1 in Colorado has only one elementary school, Fisher's Peak Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While Fisher's Peak Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating out of 5, the school's academic performance is a mixed bag. Its 5th-grade science proficiency is on par with the district average but significantly below the state average, and its English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grades are lower than both the district and state averages. These academic challenges may be linked to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which research has shown can create additional barriers to student success.
To address these performance gaps, Trinidad School District 1 may need to consider implementing targeted interventions and support, such as additional resources, professional development for teachers, and tailored instructional strategies to meet the specific needs of the student population at Fisher's Peak Elementary School. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's lower academic performance, the district can work to provide a high-quality education for all students in the area.
