Summary:
The city of Mosca, Colorado is home to two schools: Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School and Sangre de Cristo Elementary School, both part of the Sangre de Cristo School District No. Re-22J. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and have consistently maintained strong academic performance, often exceeding state and district averages on standardized tests.
Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a graduation rate of 84.2%, with a low dropout rate of 1.9%. The school's students excel in English Language Arts, outperforming their peers on CMAS and PSAT/SAT exams. Meanwhile, Sangre de Cristo Elementary School also holds a 3-star rating and demonstrates impressive performance on CMAS tests, with students often surpassing state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
Despite serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, with both schools having a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, the Sangre de Cristo schools have maintained a consistent ranking in the top half of their respective school types in Colorado. However, both schools face a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates of 27.7%, which may impact student learning and achievement. Addressing this issue could be a focus for the district, while continuing to leverage the schools' strengths and exploring opportunities for collaboration between the elementary and high school could further enhance student outcomes.
