Summary:
Erie CUSD 1 has three schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Erie Elementary (PK–4), Erie Middle (5–8) and Erie High (9–12). The clearest shared strength in the latest elementary and middle-school results is math: both schools were well above state proficiency, and Erie Elementary led with 67% proficient, compared with 56% at Erie Middle and 40% statewide.
Erie Elementary stands out in all-grades math, 27 points above the state, while Erie Middle was 16 points above. In ELA, the schools were nearly even: Middle had 64% proficiency and Elementary 63%, both above the state’s 56%. Middle’s eighth-grade math was especially strong at 65%, 30 points above the state; eighth-grade ELA was a notable exception, at 63%, about 1 point below. SchoolDigger gives Elementary and Middle four stars and High three stars. High’s results vary by grade: ninth-grade ELA and math were 7 and 16 points above state results, while tenth-grade ELA was 5 points below.
Recent changes were mixed: Elementary’s all-grades ELA and math results fell by 4 and 8 points, while Middle gained 1 point in ELA and 9 in math. State results rose in both subjects, so Elementary’s margins narrowed; Middle’s math advantage widened from 9 to 16 points, while its ELA margin narrowed. High also had varied year-to-year results: ninth-grade ELA and math rose, but tenth-grade math fell 15 points. For context, 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 11.4 at Elementary, 8.8 at Middle and 8.7 at High; free/reduced lunch eligible shares that year were 29%, 34% and 28%, respectively. High’s 2025–2026 graduation rate was 91%, above the state’s 90%, while chronic absenteeism was 17%, above the district’s 11% but below the state’s 24%. Results are school-level percentages, not changes for the same students over time.
