Summary:

Sargent Senior High School is a public high school located in Monte Vista, Colorado, serving 86 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Monte Vista School District No. C-8, which is ranked 64 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sargent Senior High School has a predominantly white student population, with 75.58% of students identifying as white, compared to the nearby Alamosa Alternative Education School and Center High School, which have much more diverse student bodies. The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the state averages, with only 50% of students proficient or better in SAT/Reading and Writing, and just 14% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.3, which is significantly better than the nearby Center Virtual Academy.

Sargent Senior High School's ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 31st out of 334 Colorado high schools in 2011-2012 to 193rd out of 349 in 2023-2024. This trend is in contrast to the nearby Sangre de Cristo Undivided High School, which has maintained a relatively higher ranking over the same period. While the school serves a relatively higher-income student population compared to some nearby schools, its academic performance and declining ranking suggest that there may be areas for improvement to better serve its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
