Summary

CIVICA Colorado is a small public school in Milliken, CO, serving 157 students across grades 6–12 as part of the Weld County School District Re-5J. Because it combines middle and high school grades, it looks different from the traditional 9–12 schools nearby. The school currently holds a 2-star state rating and ranks 210th out of 338 Colorado high schools—putting it in the same general tier as Roosevelt High School but far behind top-performing regional options.

The biggest concern for parents is academic performance. On the 2025–2026 CMAS tests, only 21.6% of CIVICA students were proficient in English language arts, compared to 44.7% statewide. Math was significantly worse: just 7.8% of students met proficiency versus 37.3% statewide, and that number has fallen sharply from 30.2% just a few years ago. What makes this more surprising is that CIVICA has a lower poverty rate (26.75% free/reduced lunch) than most nearby schools—for example, Union Colony Preparatory School has a 61% poverty rate yet posts better math scores. The clearest bright spots are 11th-grade science, where proficiency (26.3%) tops the district and state averages, and 9th/10th-grade reading, which is close to state norms. However, SAT reading/writing drops to 40% proficiency by 11th grade, versus 60% statewide.

Chronic absenteeism has nearly doubled in a year, rising from 14.6% to 27.5%, which families should watch closely. The dropout rate, however, is very low at 0.7%, suggesting students stay engaged and supported. Families weighing CIVICA against nearby schools should note that Windsor Charter Academy and Early College Academy both rank far higher and post stronger test results. CIVICA's multi-year academic decline, especially in math and middle-school literacy, is the most urgent issue—and one that parents will want to investigate before enrolling.

Absolutely amazing! My children have been excelling here since day one! The teachers and administration really are putting everything into making sure our kiddos are ready for life after high school. It's a baby school and there is so much growth happening. The community really needs to see what CIVICA has to offer versus trying to bully them out and come up with some ridiculous stories and lies. CIVICA has rules, that they actually enforce, however I believe the surronding community has become so numb to the reality of what is really happening within the other schools, they don't know how to react. I for one am beyond greatful for CIVICA to stand up for what's truly right for the future of our children, because one day, they will be taking care of us. Close Quote
