Summary:

The Las Animas School District No. Re-1 in Colorado serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 5 schools in the district. The district's schools include 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, with no alternative schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out in their performance. Las Animas Elementary School has the highest performance on CMAS English Language Arts and Math tests, with 54.8% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to 40.5% for the district and 44.8% for the state. Additionally, Las Animas High School has the highest performance on PSAT and SAT tests, with 71% of 10th graders proficient or better on the PSAT Reading and Writing section in 2023-2024, compared to 54% for the district and 66% for the state.

However, the district faces some challenges, particularly with its online school, the Academy of Las Animas Online School, which consistently ranks lower than other high schools in the state and has lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the district as a whole has high rates of free/reduced lunch, ranging from 67.14% to 76.98%, indicating a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed across the schools.
