Summary:
The Ignacio School District No. 11Jt in Colorado operates three schools: Ignacio Elementary School, Ignacio High School, and Ignacio Middle School. The district serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and Native American students, as well as a large proportion of students from low-income families.
While the district's student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the academic performance across all three schools is consistently below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Ignacio Elementary and Middle School rank in the bottom quartile of Colorado schools, while Ignacio High School fares slightly better, ranking in the bottom third of the state. The district's proficiency rates in CMAS/ELA, CMAS/Math, and CMAS/Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with the performance gap being most pronounced in Math.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 60.7% at Ignacio High School to 72.76% at Ignacio Elementary School, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the district. Addressing these demographic and resource-related issues through targeted interventions and support programs could be crucial for improving student outcomes in the Ignacio School District.
