Compared with similar schools
Colorado high schools where 0–8% of students come from families below the poverty line (this school: 3%)
- Math, 2025-26: this school 65%, typical similar school 47%. Higher than 91% of 92 similar schools.
- English, 2025-26: this school 89%, typical similar school 75%. Higher than 94% of 95 similar schools.
Family income strongly affects test scores, so comparing a school with others that serve families like its own is fairer than comparing it with the state average. The share of students below the poverty line is an estimate by the Urban Institute for 2022-23, made the same way in every state; it is a stricter measure than the low-income share above (free or reduced-price lunch, which goes up to 185% of the poverty line), so it is lower. “Typical” is the median: half of the similar schools score higher, half lower.
