Summary

Coronado High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 1,279 students in grades 9–12 as part of Colorado Springs School District No. 11. The school currently ranks 170th out of 338 high schools statewide — right at the 50th percentile with a 3-star rating. About 48% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-to-teacher ratio of 23.2 to 1 is among the highest of nearby schools. After a difficult stretch during the pandemic, when it ranked near the bottom quartile, Coronado has stabilized as a solidly mid-tier school.

Academically, Coronado shows a clear split. In reading and writing, students score at or near the state average on the SAT and PSAT, and above the D11 district average. Science is a growing strength, with 31.8% of 11th graders proficient on the state science test, well above both the state (24.8%) and the district (22.1%). The graduation rate of 85.2% matches the state average and far exceeds the district's 76.7%. Among traditional, non-selective high schools in D11, Coronado is one of the strongest options — it comfortably outperforms Palmer High School, which posts SAT reading and math scores of 45% and 13% compared to Coronado's 59% and 31%.

The biggest challenges are math, attendance, and equity. Math proficiency runs 7–10 points below the state average at every grade level, and chronic absenteeism jumped to 54.3% in 2024–2025 — nearly double the state average and far above nearby schools like Manitou Springs High School (10.1%) and Cheyenne Mountain High School (12.4%). There are also meaningful gaps for certain groups: students with disabilities and multiracial students rank in the bottom 16th percentile statewide, suggesting those students may need additional support. Coronado serves a higher share of low-income students than Cheyenne Mountain or Manitou Springs, and the comparison with Odyssey Early College and Career Options — another D11 school with a similar poverty rate but significantly stronger test scores — shows there is room for growth. On a positive note, graduation rates have risen from 79.9% to 85.2% in three years, dropout rates are down, and the school's overall trajectory is upward.

Open Quote Test scores only look low on this site because the school was dinged for parent opt-outs. It has the best SAT and PSAT scores in the district and has great academics, sports, clubs, etc. Close Quote
