Summary

Florence Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Florence, Colorado, with 592 students enrolled. The school is part of the Fremont Re-2 school district, which is ranked 96 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Florence Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, with its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year at 257 out of 328. The school's performance on standardized tests like CMAS and SAT is significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 18.4% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math compared to the state average of 35.9%. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 79.1% and 84.2%, which is lower than the state average, and the dropout rate has ranged from 1.0% to 2.3%, which is higher than the state's desired target.

While Pueblo West High School (19.39 miles away) and Canon City High School (7.27 miles away) are located relatively close to Florence Junior/Senior High School, the students at Florence do not seem to be benefiting from the proximity to these higher-performing schools. The school's low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges suggest that there may be underlying factors, such as resource availability, teacher quality, or community engagement, that are contributing to the school's struggles, and addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach.
