The school is part of the Colo-NESCO Community School District, which is ranked 166 out of 311 school districts in Iowa and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Colo-NESCO Middle/High School has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking over the past three years, ranking 146th out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 (3 stars), 130th out of 332 in 2021-2022 (3 stars), and 189th out of 327 in 2020-2021 (2 stars). The school's academic performance is mixed, with students performing above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all tested grades, but with more variable results in Mathematics and Science. Approximately 37.5% of students at Colo-NESCO Middle/High School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school district spends $15,098 per student, which is higher than the state average.
Despite its small size, Colo-NESCO Middle/High School appears to have a focus on providing adequate resources for student learning, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1. However, the school's predominantly white student population (90.95%) suggests a lack of diversity, which may be an area for improvement. Overall, Colo-NESCO Middle/High School seems to have some academic strengths, particularly in ELA, but also faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance across all subject areas and grade levels.
