Summary
Patriot High School is a public high school located in Falcon, Colorado, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of just 91 students. As part of the El Paso County Colorado School District 49, which is ranked 46 out of 115 districts in the state, Patriot High School faces several significant challenges that set it apart from nearby schools.
With consistently low four-year graduation rates ranging from 41.4% to 84.2%, which are significantly lower than the state average of around 80%, and high dropout rates between 1.9% and 9.0%, Patriot High School's student outcomes are a major concern. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.8% to 66.4%, and low test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.8% to 55% across various subjects and grade levels. In comparison, Pikes Peak Early College, a virtual high school within the same district, consistently outperforms Patriot High School in these key areas.
The small size of Patriot High School, with only 91 students, and the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.05% to 41.35%, suggest that there may be underlying issues, such as student engagement, school climate, or resource availability, that are contributing to the school's poor performance. However, the district's overall rating of 3 stars indicates that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Patriot High School in the future.
