Summary:
The 81328 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Mancos School District Re-6, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly White student population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population.
Mancos Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of White students (74.75%) and a consistent state-wide ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools over the past 3 years. Mancos High School has seen a declining state-wide ranking, dropping from the top half of Colorado high schools in 2020-2021 to the bottom half in the last 2 years, and its students perform significantly lower than the state averages in several key test areas. Mancos Middle School has the highest percentage of White students (78.07%) among the three schools and a consistent state-wide ranking in the middle of Colorado middle schools.
The high free and reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 43.59% at the high school to 54.55% at the elementary school, suggest a significant economically disadvantaged student population. This, combined with the racial imbalance and academic performance concerns, raises questions about equity and access to quality education for all students in the 81328 zip code area.
