Colorado school districts we grade (169)Better than 68%
Lower resultsHigher results
Colorado towns with similar household incomes (74)Better than 80%
B−A−A narrow range, from a partial year. Ordinary sampling error in 120 test results and a graduating class of 84 could put Julesburg anywhere from B− to A−. Only about 1 in 3 Julesburg students in the tested grades sat the spring 2022 tests (120 in math, 121 in reading), so the scores describe the students who took them more than the district as a whole.
