Summary:
The 80610 zip code area is home to two schools - Highland High School and Highland Middle School, both of which serve students in the Weld County School District No. Re-9. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state and district averages, with both receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger and struggling to meet proficiency standards on standardized tests.
Highland High School has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 213 out of 328 Colorado high schools, while Highland Middle School has a 1-star rating, ranking 382 out of 485 Colorado middle schools. Both schools have relatively low proficiency rates in standardized tests, with Highland High School scoring below the state and district averages in SAT, PSAT, and CMAS assessments, and Highland Middle School also scoring significantly below the state and district averages in CMAS English Language Arts and Math.
Despite the challenges faced by these schools, they do have some positive attributes, such as relatively low student-teacher ratios of 12.2 for the high school and 13.2 for the middle school. Additionally, both schools have the same 84.2% four-year graduation rate and 1.9% dropout rate, which suggests that they may be providing a stable educational environment for their students. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 42.61% for the high school and 42.19% for the middle school, indicates that the schools are serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to their academic performance.
