What these data tell us:
In 2007, Thompson School District's (TSD) graduation rates decreased among all racial/ ethnic groups. Asian students achieved the highest graduation rate (90%) for TSD. Poudre School District's highest graduation rate was with the Black student population (88%), with Asian students (86.8%) a close second. White students graduated at the highest rate within the Park School District (92.1%). In 2007 Park School District did not have American Indian, Asian or Black students graduate. In 2007, no racial/ ethnic group achieved total graduation rates of 100% within Larimer County School Districts.Some District data must be reviewed with caution and the understanding that, when student populations in a given group are low, the absence of just one or two graduating students could drastically change the graduation rates. For example, in 2006 there were eleven Asian students (six male, five female) in the graduating class of Thompson School District. They all graduated making the graduation rate 100%. In 2007 there were eighteen Asian students (seven male, eleven female) in the graduating class of Thompson School District. All of the females graduated producing a 100% rate. Two males did not graduate which left a 77.8% rate for males and a 90% overall rate for the group.

What these data tell us:
In 2007, Park School District was the only district to have an increase in the percentage of graduating Hispanic students. However, Hispanic graduation rates continued to be lower than those of other racial/ethnic groups across all Larimer County School Districts. The percentage of Hispanic graduating students at Thompson School District increased for 2006 from 66% in 2005 to 77%. This increase was followed by a large decline for 2007, down to 55%.
In Colorado, the Colorado Closing the Achievement Gap Commission (a commission of the Colorado Department of Education) has been working on educational gaps for six years. An August 2005 report, Understanding Colorado's Achievement Gap, from the Bell Policy Center provides explanation of this gap and potential solutions. The November 2005 final report by the Commission speaks to specific gaps and strategies to close them.
