Summary:
The city of Mosca, Colorado is home to two schools - Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School and Sangre de Cristo Elementary School, both part of the Sangre de Cristo School District No. Re-22J. While the high school has a predominantly white student population, the elementary school is more diverse, with a mix of white, Hispanic, and Native American students. Both schools perform well academically, with the high school excelling in science and the elementary school standing out in English Language Arts.
Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School boasts impressive science test scores, with over 60% of 11th and 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the CMAS Science assessment, significantly higher than the state average. Meanwhile, Sangre de Cristo Elementary School shines in English Language Arts, with over 53% of students across all grades scoring proficient or better on the CMAS ELA assessment, outpacing the state average. Both schools have higher-than-average student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.
Despite the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, the district as a whole is ranked 20th out of 116 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 91st out of 411 Colorado high schools in 2018-2019 to 150th out of 349 in 2022-2023. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors and potential areas for improvement.
