Summary:
The Lamar School District No. Re-2 in Colorado is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole faces significant challenges, ranking 94th out of 115 districts in the state and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Within the district, Alta Vista Charter School stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the district and state averages on key academic metrics such as CMAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Parkview Elementary School and Washington Elementary School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, are a significant concern and likely contribute to the overall low academic performance. Additionally, the economic disadvantage faced by students at Washington Elementary and Parkview Elementary, as evidenced by their high free/reduced lunch rates, may be a factor in their lower achievement. Addressing these challenges should be a priority for the Lamar School District No. Re-2 to improve educational outcomes for all students.
