Our school district serves approximately 7,000 students in nine traditional schools and a K-12 charter school system. We strive to inspire innovation and empower success for every student in every classroom, through our comprehensive academic programs as well as International Baccalaureate, project-based learning, and STEM options. At our high schools, students have access to Advanced Placement courses and dual credit and concurrent enrollment programs. They have the opportunity to explore potential career paths through a variety of programs such as Culinary Arts, Future Farmers of America, Construction Management and Industrial Design and Technology.
Across the district, our students have access to a variety of technology tools. Access to technology is just one of many ways we inspire innovation in our students, who consistently outperform the state average on standardized math and language arts tests. However, when it comes to measures of success, what makes us most proud is the consistent recognition Weld RE-4 students receive in their schools, in our community, and beyond for their academic achievements, creative talents, athletic prowess, and community service.
