Summary:
The Ignacio School District No. 11Jt in Colorado is home to a single elementary school, Ignacio Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been consistently below average, ranking in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools over the past three years.
Ignacio Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic (37.93%) and Native American (30.34%) students. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts (29% proficiency), Math (13.7% proficiency), and Science (26.7% proficiency for 5th graders). This suggests the presence of substantial achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (72.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which can present unique challenges in terms of resource allocation and student support.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning, Ignacio Elementary School has consistently struggled to improve its academic performance. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger has remained unchanged over the past three years, indicating a persistent need for targeted interventions and support to help the school address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
