Ignacio High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Colorado high schools, placing it among the lowest-performing in the state. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, white, and low socioeconomic status students, is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom half of Colorado high schools for these groups.
