Summary:
The Ignacio School District No. 11Jt in Colorado has only one middle school, Ignacio Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently performed poorly compared to other Colorado middle schools, ranking in the bottom half of the state's 469-485 middle schools over the past few years.
Ignacio Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts ranged from 30% to 45.7%, compared to the state average of 44.2% to 48.8%. In CMAS Math, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 14% for 6th grade to 12.2% for 8th grade, compared to the state average of 31.4% to 32.5%. The school's proficiency rates in CMAS Science for 8th grade were also significantly lower than the state average, at 28.2% compared to 36.4%.
The school faces other challenges as well, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.16%), a high chronic absenteeism rate (27.7%), and a dropout rate of 1.9% in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may be contributing to the school's overall low performance and suggest that the school is serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
