Summary:
The North Conejos School District No. Re1J in Colorado is home to two elementary schools: La Jara Elementary School and Manassa Elementary School. These schools serve students from the surrounding communities and offer a range of educational opportunities.
La Jara Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 112 out of 921 Colorado elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in several CMAS test scores, particularly in 5th grade Science, all grades English Language Arts, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade English Language Arts. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past three years. Manassa Elementary School, on the other hand, has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has shown strong performance in 4th grade English Language Arts and 3rd and 4th grade Math.
Both schools face similar socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need for additional support and resources. The demographic differences between the schools, with La Jara Elementary School having a more balanced White and Hispanic student population and Manassa Elementary School having a majority Hispanic student population, may also contribute to the schools' varying academic performance and could be an area for further investigation by the North Conejos School District No. Re1J.
