High Schools in Montrose County School District Re-1J


Summary:

The Montrose County School District Re-1J in Colorado is home to four high schools: Montrose High School, Olathe Middle/High School, Vista Charter School, and Black Canyon High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the four high schools, Montrose High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 133rd out of 349 Colorado high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on key test scores, including SAT Reading and Writing, SAT Math, and PSAT9/10 Reading and Writing. In contrast, the other three schools, Olathe Middle/High School, Vista Charter School, and Black Canyon High School, have lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

The data also reveals some interesting trends across the district. All four high schools have similar four-year graduation rates of 84.2% and relatively low dropout rates ranging from 1.9% to 1.9%. However, chronic absenteeism rates are consistently high, around 27.7% for all schools. Additionally, the schools serving more economically disadvantaged student populations, such as Black Canyon High School and Vista Charter School, tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.
