Summary

Colorado Elementary And Middle in Colorado City, TX, serves 681 students in grades PK-8 within the Colorado Independent School District (Isd), a district with a 1-star rating, and has historically ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Despite this, the school has maintained a perfect 0% dropout rate for five years and shows remarkable strengths in specific areas. For instance, its Special Education students ranked in the 77th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, a standout achievement that suggests highly effective support systems. Additionally, the school has seen a dramatic turnaround for its African American students, who jumped from the 12th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 73rd percentile by 2025-2026.

However, academic performance varies widely by grade and subject. In 2025-2026, 8th-grade math proficiency (63.08%) was nearly double the state average, while 5th-grade math (28.57%) lagged 19 points behind. Science remains a chronic weakness, with 5th-grade scores consistently 15-20 points below the state average. A direct comparison with Roscoe Elementary, just 18 miles away, highlights a stark contrast: Roscoe ranks in the 74th percentile (4 stars) versus Colorado’s 27th percentile (1 star). For example, in 4th-grade reading, Roscoe scored 68.89% proficiency compared to Colorado’s 36.36%. This gap correlates with spending differences—Roscoe spends $23,694 per student versus Colorado’s $10,369—but high spending alone isn’t a guarantee, as seen with Lone Star Online Academy, which spends similarly yet ranks in the 1st percentile with a 6.1% dropout rate.

For parents, Colorado Elementary And Middle offers a mixed picture: it excels in supporting Special Education students and has shown impressive gains for African American students, but overall academic achievement lags behind nearby schools like Roscoe. The school’s 8th grade appears to be a relative strength, with math and reading scores among the highest, while elementary grades and science need improvement. The reported student-teacher ratio of 130.7:1 for 2024-2025 is likely a data error, as previous years showed normal ratios around 15:1. This school may be a good fit for families seeking targeted support for specific student groups, but those prioritizing consistent high academic performance might consider exploring options in the Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (Isd).
