Colome High School - 01 has a 4-year graduation rate of 86.4%, slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 2.6%, which is lower than the state average. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with below-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts (45.45%) and mathematics (45.45%), but above-average proficiency in science (63.63%). Despite the school's small size and relatively high spending per student ($20,912), the student-teacher ratio is quite low at 5.6, indicating a focus on small class sizes and personalized attention.

The high percentage of students (52.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Colome High School - 01 suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 45th in 2022-2023 to 67th in 2024-2025. While the school's small size and personalized approach may be beneficial, the academic challenges it faces, particularly in ELA and math, indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve student outcomes.
