Summary

Otis Junior-Senior High School is a public high school in Otis, Colorado, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Otis School District No. R-3, which is ranked 28 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Otis Junior-Senior High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.3% to 85.7% over the past few years, which is comparable to the nearby Lone Star Undivided High School (84.2%) and Akron High School (84.2%). However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24.8% to 27.7% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Akron High School (27.7%) and Yuma High School (27.7%). Additionally, Otis Junior-Senior High School's test scores, as measured by CMAS, PSAT, and SAT, have generally been lower than the state and district averages.

While Otis Junior-Senior High School shares some similarities with the nearby schools, such as graduation rates and dropout rates, it generally underperforms in terms of test scores and chronic absenteeism. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.62% to 51.4% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. To address these challenges, the school may need to focus on improving academic instruction, implementing targeted interventions for struggling students, and addressing any underlying factors that may be impacting student performance.
