Westminster Public Schools

The Westminster Public Schools district in Colorado serves 18 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district has a diverse student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need. While the district and its schools generally perform below state averages on standardized tests, a few standout schools, such as Colorado STEM Academy, demonstrate stronger academic outcomes.

The Colorado STEM Academy is a top-performing elementary/middle school, ranking 292nd out of 933 Colorado elementary schools and receiving 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It has significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Other standout schools include Sherrelwood Elementary School, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools, and Harris Park Elementary School, which also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

However, the majority of the schools in the district (13 out of 18) have a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting significant room for improvement in overall school performance. The high rates of economic need among the student population, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates, may present additional challenges for the district and require targeted support and resources to address the disparities in academic achievement across the schools.
