Summary

Colorado High School in Colorado City, TX, serves 228 students in grades 9-12 within the Colorado Independent School District (Isd), and is a small, stable school that has consistently ranked in the middle of the pack statewide over the past decade.

The school’s greatest strength is its exceptional graduation and dropout rates. It has achieved a 100% graduation rate in two of the last five years and a 0.0% dropout rate in three of the last five years, outperforming nearby Wallace Accelerated High School (89.5% graduation rate) and Roscoe Collegiate High School (97.8% graduation rate). Colorado High School also excels in U.S. History End-of-Course exams, with 76.47% of students proficient—higher than both the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has shown remarkable improvement with English Language Learner students, jumping from the 33rd to the 90th percentile statewide in just two years.

However, the school faces challenges. There is a persistent performance gap between male and female students, with females consistently earning higher ratings. Performance for other subgroups, such as Special Education students, has been volatile, dropping from an 80th percentile to a 20th percentile in recent years. Despite these issues, Colorado High School’s ability to maintain high graduation rates and strong subject performance—even compared to a higher-ranked school like Roscoe Collegiate, which serves a less economically disadvantaged population—shows its commitment to student success and retention.
