Summary:

Windsor, Colorado, is served by 14 schools—including eight elementary, three middle, and three high schools—that collectively educate about 7,400 students, with most schools belonging to the highly rated Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4 (4 stars, ranked 19th in the state) and one operating under the State Charter School Institute.

Families in Windsor will find a wide range of academic experiences. The Windsor Charter Academy Elementary School is the top elementary school (87th percentile, 4 stars) with CMAS ELA proficiency of 69.8% and math of 60.6%, far ahead of traditional schools like Grandview Elementary School (ELA 55.7%, math 55.9%) and well above the district averages of 49.0% ELA and 42.4% math. The charter advantage continues into middle and high school: Windsor Charter Academy Middle School ranks in the 81st percentile, while Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School is an elite 5-star school (94th percentile) with SAT reading/writing proficiency of 89% and math of 69%. By contrast, the traditional Windsor High School scores near state averages (SAT reading/writing 63%, math 34%) but has an excellent 96.2% graduation rate versus 85.6% statewide. The weakest area is traditional middle schooling: Windsor Middle School (ELA 38.7%, math 30.5%) and Severance Middle School (ELA 41.8%, math 32.9%) both fall below state averages.

Chronic absenteeism and poverty closely track lower achievement. The Skyview Elementary School has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (43.0%) and a 23.0% chronic absenteeism rate, correlating with its 2-star rating. In contrast, Windsor Charter Academy Elementary School has the lowest absenteeism (6.9%) and the best scores. Several schools are trending downward, including Windsor Middle School, while American Legacy Academy has improved sharply from the 552nd to 371st rank. Overall, while Weld Re-4 is a strong district, the top-performing charter schools offer a distinctly different—and generally much higher—level of academic rigor than many traditional public schools in the same area.
