Summary:
The Miami-Yoder Joint District No. 60 in Colorado operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle/high school, and one high school preparatory academy. The district serves a population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Among the standout schools, Miami/Yoder Elementary School shines with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, particularly in 4th grade, where it outperforms the district and state averages. In contrast, Miami-Yoder Middle/High School boasts the highest graduation rate in the district at 84.2% and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.9%. However, the middle/high school's performance on PSAT9 assessments is mixed, with 9th-grade Reading and Writing proficiency rates exceeding the district and state, but overall academic achievement lagging behind.
The data reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% at both the middle/high school and elementary school. This issue, coupled with the district's low ranking of 98 out of 115 in Colorado and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests the need for targeted interventions to address the underlying challenges faced by the schools in the Miami-Yoder Joint District No. 60.
