Summary:
The Upper Rio Grande School District C-7 in Colorado operates two schools: Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School and Del Norte Elementary School. The district is ranked 71 out of 115 districts in Colorado and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a lower than state average dropout rate of 1.9% for the 2023-2024 school year. The high school also outperforms the district and state in 11th grade CMAS/Science proficiency and CMAS/English Language Arts proficiency across all grades. In contrast, Del Norte Elementary School outperforms the district in 6th grade CMAS/English Language Arts proficiency but underperforms in CMAS/Math assessments.
Both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 27.7% and a significant proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community. These factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the schools, and targeted interventions and support could be beneficial to address the needs of the student population.
