Summary:

Wiley School District No. Re-13 Jt is a small, rural Colorado district serving roughly 270 students across just two schools: Wiley Elementary School (grades PK–5, 155 students) and Wiley Junior-Senior High School (grades 6–12, 115 students), with no standalone middle school. The district as a whole ranks 61st out of 115 Colorado districts, placing it at the 47th percentile with a 2-star rating. Both schools enjoy favorable student-teacher ratios around 11:1, giving families a tightly-knit educational environment.

Wiley Elementary School is the clear standout and one of the district's strongest assets. It has earned a 3-star rating for three consecutive years and remains in roughly the 64th–66th percentile statewide. In the most recent testing year, it outperformed both the district and the state in all-grade English Language Arts (52.1% vs. 44.7% statewide) and Math (43.8% vs. 37.3% statewide), and its 5th-grade Science proficiency of 50% is well above the state's 36.1%. Chronic absenteeism is just 8.8%, far below the state rate of 28.4%. By contrast, Wiley Junior-Senior High School has declined sharply, falling from a 3-star, 51st-percentile school in 2023–2024 to a 1-star, 20th-percentile school in 2025–2026. Its all-grades ELA proficiency is just 30.6%, and Math is even weaker at 24.2% versus the state's 37.3%.

Important takeaways for parents: Wiley Elementary School serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (59.35% free/reduced lunch) than the high school (44.35%), yet its academic results are far stronger, suggesting effective instructional strategies that the high school is not currently replicating. Math is a district-wide weakness, especially at the secondary level — 6th-grade math proficiency is just 11.1% versus the state's 32.7%. Chronic absenteeism at Wiley Junior-Senior High School is 17.2%, nearly double the elementary school's rate. The high school's most recent graduation rate (93.8%) is solid, but it uses lagged 2022–2023 data. Science is a hidden strength at both schools. In short, the district's 2-star overall rating masks a tale of two schools: a consistently strong elementary and a secondary school in need of urgent attention.
