Summary:

The Weld re-8 school district in Colorado consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance across the schools.

Two schools stand out in the district - Kenneth Homyak PK-8 and Leo William Butler Elementary. Kenneth Homyak PK-8 consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with an impressive 83.3% of 8th graders proficient or better in CMAS Science in 2024-2025. Leo William Butler Elementary also performs well above the district and state in English Language Arts, particularly in 4th and 5th grades.

However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. For example, in 8th grade CMAS Science, Kenneth Homyak PK-8 had 83.3% proficiency, while Fort Lupton High School had just 5.1% proficiency. These gaps appear to be correlated with socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores. Despite these challenges, the success of Kenneth Homyak PK-8 suggests there may be opportunities to improve outcomes district-wide through the adoption of effective practices.
