Summary:
The Montezuma-Cortez School District No. Re-1 in Colorado serves 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, providing education to a diverse student population in the area.
Among the standout schools in the district, Lewis-Arriola Elementary School shines with the highest performance on CMAS tests, with 35-63% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 55% proficient or better in Math. The district's charter schools, Children's Kiva Montessori School and Battle Rock Charter School, also stand out with their lower student-teacher ratios, which are significantly better than the traditional public schools in the district.
However, the Montezuma-Cortez School District No. Re-1 as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below the state averages on standardized tests and having high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address the specific needs of the diverse student population and improve academic outcomes across the district.
