Summary

Severance High School is a comprehensive public high school in Severance, Colorado, serving 943 students in grades 9–12 within the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4. The school's greatest strengths are student completion: it graduates 93.0% of its students, well above the state average of 85.6%, and posts a remarkably low dropout rate of just 0.6%. Science proficiency is also a relative bright spot, with 31.9% of 11th graders scoring proficient compared to 24.8% statewide. While the school ranks in the middle of the pack academically at the 53rd percentile, families can expect a supportive environment that effectively keeps students on track to earn a diploma.

Where Severance struggles is in academics relative to its district peers. SAT Reading/Writing proficiency sits at 59%, below both the district's 67% and the state's 60%, while SAT Math proficiency has trended downward over three years to 30%. Math is the school's most notable weakness, with 9th-grade PSAT math proficiency dropping from 52% to 40% in just three years. Severance trails Windsor High School, which ranks at the 60th percentile, and sits far behind Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School, a 5-star school in the 94th percentile. Even Eaton High School, with a similar socioeconomic profile, posts higher reading scores and much lower chronic absenteeism.

The school's most pressing challenges are attendance and a shifting student population. Chronic absenteeism stands at 25.4%, significantly higher than the district's 17.4%, and free/reduced lunch eligibility has jumped from 19.2% to 28.3% in just two years, signaling growing economic diversity. On a positive note, Severance improved its overall state ranking this year and continues to serve its historically underserved students at levels comparable to statewide averages. For parents, Severance offers a solid, safe choice with excellent graduation outcomes, but it is worth being aware of the declining math scores and attendance issues when considering this school against the district's higher-performing alternatives.
