Summary

Sargent Senior High School is a small rural school in Monte Vista, Colorado, serving 81 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Sargent School District No. Re-33J. The school stands out in the San Luis Valley for its low student-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, tied with Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School for the best in the area. Compared with its neighbors, Sargent serves a smaller share of students from low-income families — 43.2% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, versus 62.1% at Monte Vista Senior High School and 91.5% at Center High School.

Sargent's greatest strengths are graduation and literacy. The school posted a 95.2% graduation rate in 2024-25, well above the state average of 85.6% and ahead of neighboring schools like Del Norte High Junior/Senior High School (89.3%) and Monte Vista Senior High School (89.8%). Reading and writing results are the best in the region: 81% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT Reading/Writing section, compared with 60% statewide and just 40% at Monte Vista Senior High School. Attendance is also a bright spot, with a 20% chronic absenteeism rate that beats the state average of 28.4%.

The challenge for Sargent is STEM. Only 19% of 11th graders scored proficient in SAT math in 2025-26, versus 32% statewide, and 11th-grade science proficiency was 22.7% in 2023-24, slightly below the state's 24.8%. These results have dragged the school's overall ranking down from the 90th percentile in 2012-13 to the 47th percentile today. A useful comparison is Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School, which has the same low student-teacher ratio but far stronger science outcomes — 53.8% proficiency in 2025-26. If Sargent can bring the same success it has achieved in reading and writing to math and science, it has the class sizes, attendance record, and graduation rates to become a top rural high school again.
