Summary:

School District No. Re-3 Fort Morgan serves 3,451 students across eight schools in the Fort Morgan, Colorado area, including five elementary schools (one early childhood center), one middle school, and two high schools. The district ranks 109th out of 115 Colorado districts, placing it in the 5th percentile with zero stars, and roughly 58% of students districtwide qualify for free/reduced lunch, with school-level poverty rates ranging from 50.3% at Fort Morgan High School to 74.9% at Pioneer Elementary School.

Columbine Elementary School stands out as the district's strongest academic performer, with the highest ranking (31st percentile), the best ELA and math proficiency rates (32.5% and 26.3%), and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (15.2%). Fort Morgan High School is the district's healthiest high school, with an 83.7% graduation rate and 43% SAT Reading/Writing proficiency, though both trail state averages. By contrast, Lincoln High School, a small school of 43 students, faces severe challenges: a 41.7% graduation rate, an 11.5% dropout rate, and 74.5% chronic absenteeism. Sherman Early Childhood Center has no test data but shows a concerning 31.3% chronic absenteeism rate for a PK-K school.

Every tested school falls well below state proficiency averages, with the largest gaps in math — district math proficiency is just 17.6% versus 37.3% statewide, and math proficiency actually declines as students progress from 3rd to 5th grade. Chronic absenteeism is a powerful indicator of outcomes, with the highest-absenteeism schools showing the weakest results. However, there are bright spots: Green Acres Elementary School has steadily improved from the 11th to 20th percentile over three years, and Columbine proves that strong achievement and attendance are possible even in a high-poverty district. Targeted investments in math intervention, attendance support, and additional help for Baker Elementary School (which has slipped to the 7th percentile) and Lincoln High School could have the greatest impact.
