Colorado Early Colleges Windsor

Public, Charter Grades 5-12

Summary

Colorado Early Colleges Windsor is a small public charter school in Windsor, CO, serving 196 students in grades 6–12 under the State Charter School Institute. After two years in the top quarter of Colorado high schools, the school's state ranking fell sharply in 2024–25 to 217th out of 328 (34th percentile, 2 stars). That puts it well behind most nearby schools, including Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School (12th), Fossil Ridge High School (16th), and Windsor High School (142nd).

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. In 2025–26 CMAS testing, math proficiency was 38.6%—slightly above the state average of 37.3%—and 8th-grade science also edged past the state. English Language Arts, however, was a notable weakness: just 27.3% of students were proficient, compared to 44.7% statewide. Math performance also dropped sharply from middle school to high school: the same cohort that scored 54% proficient on PSAT9 math in 2023–24 fell to just 24% on PSAT10 math in 2024–25. Nearby schools fared much better, with Fort Collins High School posting 52–54% and Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School reaching 79%.

The most important concern is graduation: at 75.0%, it sits well below the state rate of 85.6% and far beneath neighbors like Windsor High School (96.2%), Compass Community Collaborative School (95.5%), and Loveland High School (93.8%). However, the school reports a 0.0% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism (18.3%) is well below many peers—Fossil Ridge High School sits at 42.7% and Fort Collins High School at 46.8%. Because this is an early college program, students may take college courses and graduate in more than four years, which may partly explain the low graduation rate. Notably, Colorado Early Colleges Fort Collins shows a similar pattern (75.9% graduation) yet ranks 45th—suggesting implementation matters, not just the model.
