High Schools in Westminster Public Schools

Summary:

The Westminster Public Schools district in Colorado is home to two high schools: Westminster High School and Hidden Lake Secondary. Both schools are struggling, with low rankings and test scores compared to the state averages.

Neither Westminster High School nor Hidden Lake Secondary stand out as exceptional performers. Both schools ranked in the bottom 10% of Colorado high schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism rates are all consistent with the district's challenges, and their test scores are significantly below the state averages across various subjects.

The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 80% in both schools, suggest that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges. The consistent metrics across the two high schools indicate a need for comprehensive improvement strategies to address the underlying issues and provide better educational opportunities for the students in the Westminster Public Schools district.
