Summary:
The Walsh School District No. Re-1 in Colorado has only one elementary school, Walsh Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. While the school has some academic strengths, it also faces challenges in certain areas and has room for improvement in its overall performance.
Walsh Elementary School performs well in science, scoring 38.9% proficient or better on the CMAS/Science assessment, which is higher than the state average of 33.9%. The school also performs slightly better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA), with 44.8% of students scoring proficient or better on the CMAS/ELA assessment. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with only 24.1% of students scoring proficient or better on the CMAS/Math assessment, which is lower than the state average of 32.9%.
Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 57.14%. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's overall performance, which is reflected in its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 487 out of 933 Colorado elementary schools. To address these areas of concern, the school and district may need to focus on improving math instruction and exploring strategies to support the unique needs of their economically disadvantaged student population.
