What this school's NCES data tells you

The free-lunch share is 49% below the Colorado average and 62% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 9.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding School District No. Re-5 Plateau spends $21,304 per pupil district-wide, above the Colorado average of $16,273 and above the national average of $16,593.
