Sargent Elementary School

Summary:

Sargent Elementary School is a public elementary school in Monte Vista, Colorado, serving around 180 students in grades K-6. As part of the Monte Vista School District No. C-8, Sargent Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of White students, stronger academic performance, and lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.

Sargent Elementary generally outperforms the district and state averages on CMAS tests, particularly in Science and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 41.7%, compared to the state average of 37.9%. However, the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with its ranking among Colorado elementary schools fluctuating between 344 and 551 out of around 900-950 schools. In comparison, nearby schools like Alamosa Elementary School 3-5 and Haskin Elementary School have more diverse student populations and lower academic performance.

The lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sargent Elementary (42.78% in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Alamosa Elementary School 3-5 (66.07%) and Haskin Elementary (83.45%) suggests that Sargent Elementary may serve a more economically advantaged population, which could contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance. However, the school still faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance and addressing areas of weakness, such as Math proficiency.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
