Summary:
The Ignacio School District No. 11Jt in Colorado serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a large percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the overall academic performance being below state averages.
Ignacio Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and stronger test scores compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Ignacio High School has a lower 1-star rating but performs relatively well on metrics like graduation rate and 11th grade science proficiency.
Across the district, schools face significant achievement gaps, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math often 10-20 percentage points below state averages. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing additional support to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds may be key focus areas for the district to improve academic outcomes for all students.
