Summary:
The 80701 zip code area of Fort Morgan, Colorado is home to 8 schools serving students from early childhood through high school, all part of the School District No. Re-3 Fort Morgan. While the district is ranked 111 out of 115 in Colorado and has a 0-star rating, a few schools stand out in the data.
Columbine Elementary School has the highest test scores on CMAS English Language Arts and Math assessments compared to other elementary schools, as well as the highest 5th grade science proficiency. Baker Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 14.1, which may contribute to its relatively stronger performance. At the high school level, the small Lincoln High School has a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.4, which could help explain its higher PSAT 10 Reading and Writing proficiency compared to district and state averages.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with schools generally performing well below state averages on CMAS assessments and having high rates of chronic absenteeism around 27.7%. The schools serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 53.9% to 83.72%. Addressing root causes like attendance, resource allocation, and teaching quality will be critical to improving academic outcomes for students in this area.
