Summary

Ellicott Senior High School is a small rural high school in Calhan, CO, serving 259 students in grades 9-12, and is the only high school in the Ellicott School District No. 22.

Academically, math is the school’s biggest challenge. Only 11% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT math test, compared to 32% statewide, and PSAT scores for 9th and 10th graders are similarly low (14% and 9% vs. 40% and 39% statewide). This is a long-standing pattern, not a one-year dip. Reading and writing scores are closer to state averages but uneven; for example, PSAT 10 reading/writing was just 39% vs. 65% statewide, while SAT reading/writing reached 55% vs. 60%. Science scores swing dramatically, from 7.7% proficient in 2024-2025 to 28.6% in 2025-2026—actually above the state average. Because the school is small, a few students can shift percentages a lot, so year-to-year comparisons should be taken with caution.

On the plus side, Ellicott’s graduation rate is a genuine strength, consistently at or above the state average (86.8% vs. 85.6% in 2024-2025). Chronic absenteeism, however, is 30.5%—higher than the state’s 28.4%, but far better than nearby Falcon High School (56.6%) and Sand Creek High School (48.7%). The most telling comparison is with Calhan Secondary School, just 15 miles away: Calhan graduates 94.4% of students, has 17.2% chronic absenteeism, and posts dramatically higher math scores (52% proficient on PSAT 10 math vs. Ellicott’s 9%). Even with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.2, Ellicott’s subgroup performance ranks below the state median across all student groups. The school clearly graduates most students, but many are not leaving with the math skills needed for college or career readiness, and that’s the area to watch.
