2025-2026
Center Consolidated School District (CCSD) is located in Center, Colorado, a small, rural community in the heart of the San Luis Valley. The town has a population of 2,312 residents and is deeply rooted in agriculture, with the local economy primarily dependent on farming and ranching. CCSD serves just over 600 students in grades PK?12, and enrollment has remained steady in recent years. The district is one of three in Saguache County. The median household income in Center is $50,057, and the co…
unty?s poverty rate is 18%. Our student population is diverse: 91% of students identify as Hispanic or Latino, 8% as White, and 1% as American Indian. Additionally, 21% of students are migrants, 3% are immigrants, 40% are English Learners, and 11% receive special education services through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Approximately 560 students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, bringing the district?s overall poverty rate to 93%. The rate of homelessness has risen sharply in recent years and currently stands at 30%, with roughly 150 students identified as homeless. In total, 83% of CCSD students are considered at-risk. As a small, rural district, CCSD faces unique challenges related to high poverty levels and limited local resources. Despite these challenges, our District Ownership Team (DOT) remains steadfast in its mission to improve student achievement for every learner continuously. This work is guided by the Unified Improvement Plan (UIP)/ District Ownership Plan (DOP ) , which serves as the driving force behind all district and building-level initiatives. The DOT, comprising district and building administrators, teachers, and department representatives, meets monthly to review data, monitor progress, and ensure alignment across all improvement efforts. The team reports regularly to the building-level ownership teams, the Board of Education, and the District Accountability Committee, which includes representatives from the community, parents, students, and staff. Throughout the school year, the DOT conducts ongoing data analysis to assess instructional effectiveness and student learning. This includes reviewing CMAS, SAT, and NWEA results, as well as building-level surveys, the TELL Survey, the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS), Smart Source Inventories, and other local measures.
