Summary:
Fleming, Colorado, is served by School District No. Re-3 Frenchman, a small district with two schools on a shared campus: Fleming Elementary School (grades PK–6) and Fleming High School (grades 7–12), together serving 221 students in this rural community. The district ranks 39th out of 115 districts statewide, placing it in the 66th percentile with a 3-star rating. There is no standalone middle school – the high school serves grades 7–12, meaning middle school students share a building and culture with high schoolers.
Fleming High School is the clear standout. It earned 5-star ratings in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024, ranking in the 92nd and 95th percentiles (as high as 19th in the state). Even after a drop to the 83rd percentile in 2024–2025, it remains a 4-star school. In 2025–2026, 60.7% of students were proficient in math on CMAS, far above the state's 37.3%. SAT Reading and Writing proficiency reached 83% versus 62% statewide, and PSAT9 math hit 59% compared to 38% statewide. Science proficiency was 38.9% versus 25% statewide, and the high school reported a 0.0% dropout rate. Fleming Elementary School is more modest, holding a consistent 3-star rating in the 51st–60th percentile. Its all-grade math proficiency is just 26.2% and ELA is 27.9%, both below state averages.
Even so, the elementary school has bright spots. Fifth-grade ELA proficiency is 56.3%, beating the state's 49.9%, and fifth-grade science is right at the state average. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at both schools – 5–7% versus 28.4% statewide – pointing to a strong, engaged school culture. The high school's graduation rate of 85.7% matches the state average of 85.6%. One thing to keep in mind: with only 90 high school students and 131 elementary students, proficiency rates can swing sharply from year to year based on a small number of students. The elementary school, for example, slid from the 60th to the 51st percentile in a few years, while the high school's rank fluctuated between 19th and 56th despite maintaining a 4- or 5-star rating.
