Colorado Elementary And Middle

Summary:

Colorado Elementary And Middle is a public elementary and middle school in Colorado City, Texas, serving 708 students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is part of the Colorado Independent School District, which is ranked 799 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colorado Elementary And Middle faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on STAAR tests across multiple subject areas and grade levels, particularly among its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. The school's performance lags behind both the state averages and the nearby Roscoe Elementary and Lone Star Online Academy, which are part of the Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and its relatively low spending per student suggest that it may be operating with limited resources, which could be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6, which is lower than the ratios at the nearby Roscoe schools, Colorado Elementary And Middle has not been able to translate this into more effective instruction and support for struggling students. Targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on equity and student support may be necessary to help the school make meaningful progress in improving academic performance and addressing the needs of its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
