Summary

Frederick Senior High School is a public high school serving 1,460 students in grades 9-12 in Frederick, Colorado. The school is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 27th out of 115 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, it performs relatively better among its male and Hispanic student populations. However, the school struggles with its multi-racial and special education student groups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of the state. Frederick Senior High School's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District, Niwot High School consistently outperforms Frederick Senior High School, while Skyline High School faces similar challenges. Mead High School and Erie High School demonstrate stronger academic performance and higher statewide rankings compared to Frederick Senior High School. Addressing the school's performance in mathematics and chronic absenteeism, as well as supporting the needs of its diverse student populations, could be areas for improvement.
