Summary:
The Upper Rio Grande School District C-7 in Colorado has only one high school, Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 261 out of 349 Colorado high schools in 2023-2024 and 192 out of 328 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating out of 5.
Academically, Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts and CMAS/Math consistently below the state averages. However, the school's CMAS/Science proficiency rate is slightly above the state average, indicating potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve overall academic performance. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges.
Despite these challenges, the school's dropout rate of 1.9% is lower than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is slightly lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may have some positive attributes that could be built upon to support student success. Overall, the analysis of the single high school in the Upper Rio Grande School District C-7 reveals a school with inconsistent performance, academic challenges, and a relatively low-income student population, which could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
