Summary:
The Sargent School District No. Re-33J in Colorado operates three schools: Sargent Elementary School, Sargent Senior High School, and Sargent Junior High School. The district serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Sargent Senior High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 151 out of 328 Colorado high schools and outperforming the state average in SAT Reading and Writing proficiency. The school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a low dropout rate of 1.9%. In contrast, Sargent Elementary School is the only school in the district that outperforms the state average in 3rd grade CMAS English Language Arts, with 52.6% of students scoring proficient or better compared to the state's 42%.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools generally underperform the state averages in CMAS/PSAT/SAT proficiency, suggesting a need for systemic improvements to address the district's academic challenges. While the data highlights potential areas of strength, such as the performance of Sargent Senior High School and Sargent Elementary School, the Sargent School District must work to address its broader issues to improve educational outcomes for its students.
