Idalia RJ-3 School District

Situated along 26845 County Road 9.2 in Idalia, Colorado, the Idalia RJ-3 School District serves as a vital educational hub for its surrounding rural remote community. Operating as a fully functional, independent public school system, the district manages two operational facilities that offer a comprehensive educational continuum spanning Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. Free from charter management structures, Idalia RJ-3 provides a traditional public school setting designed to guide local youth through every stage of their academic development within a single, cohesive campus environment.

The district supports a close-knit learning community of 150 enrolled students, including 80 female and 70 male learners, with a student demographic that includes 31 Hispanic students and 118 White students. A defining feature of Idalia RJ-3 is its generous staffing framework: the district employs a total staff footprint of over 67 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. This dedicated team includes approximately 31.5 full-time equivalent teachers, more than 4 instructional aides, and nearly 32 support staff members. This exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio enables highly individualized instruction, robust student support services, and a strong sense of community tailored to meet the unique needs of its Eastern Colorado scholars.
