High Schools in Otis School District No. R-3

Summary:

Otis School District No. R-3 in Colorado is home to a single high school, Otis Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 28 out of 115 in Colorado and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the performance of Otis Junior-Senior High School has been declining in recent years.

Otis Junior-Senior High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 127 out of 328 Colorado high schools in 2024-2025 to 249 out of 349 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 1 star during the same period. The school's proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts (30.3%) and CMAS/Math (15.2%) are significantly lower than the district (33.8% and 19.7%) and state (44.8% and 35.9%) averages, indicating academic underperformance. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which may be contributing to its declining performance.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, the high proportion of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 51.4% free and reduced-price lunch rate, may present additional challenges for the school in terms of providing resources and support to meet the needs of its student population. Overall, the data suggests that Otis School District No. R-3 and its sole high school are facing significant challenges in maintaining academic performance and competitiveness compared to other schools in Colorado.
