Summary

Mancos High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Mancos, Colorado, with a total enrollment of 154 students. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 67th out of 349 Colorado high schools in 2011-2012 to 251st out of 328 in 2024-2025.

Mancos High School consistently underperforms the state average in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics, with only 12% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 32%. The school also has relatively low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83.1% to 90.9% in recent years, slightly below the state average. Additionally, Mancos High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with the percentage ranging from 27.7% to 46.2% in the last few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.59% to 48.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Mancos High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below that of the nearby Montezuma-Cortez High School and Dolores High School, which are also located in the region and serve similar student populations. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism should be a priority for the school and the Mancos School District Re-6.
