Summary

Sargent Elementary School is a small K–5 school in rural Monte Vista, Colorado, serving 142 students in the Sargent School District No. Re-33J. The school currently holds a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 687th of 943 Colorado elementary schools — a notable decline from its 3-star rating in 2022–2023, when it ranked 432nd of 933 schools. Compared with nearby elementary schools, Sargent serves a lower percentage of students from low-income families, with 49.3% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Sargent lags behind state averages across all major subjects. On the 2025–2026 CMAS assessments, 33.8% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 22.2% in Math, and 20.0% in 5th-grade Science — compared with state averages of 44.7%, 37.3%, and 36.1%. While these results are similar to several neighboring schools like Bill Metz Elementary School (32.7% ELA) and Haskin Elementary School (33.0% ELA), they trail far behind Sangre de Cristo Elementary School, a nearby rural school with higher poverty that achieved 59.2% ELA proficiency. The most pressing concern is mathematics: 5th-grade math proficiency fell to just 12%, compared with 39.3% statewide and 50% at Sangre de Cristo.

What makes Sargent's results most puzzling is that its demographics and attendance are relatively strong. Chronic absenteeism sits at 21.4%, below the state average of 28.4%, and the school serves fewer economically disadvantaged students than all comparable nearby schools. Yet test scores have declined steadily over the past several years — from the 54th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 27th percentile today. Despite small enrollment creating some year-to-year swings, the consistent downward trend across subjects suggests the issue is not poverty or attendance, but rather instructional support and curriculum rigor. The strong performance of Sangre de Cristo, a comparable rural school in the same region, shows that higher achievement is within reach for Sargent with the right supports in place.
