The School Grade

What’s behind Mancos’s grade

B Test scores

B: better than 62% of Colorado school districts. Test scores are below the Colorado average; there is no graduation rate to add.

Colorado school districts we grade (169)Better than 62%
Lower resultsHigher results
Colorado towns with similar household incomes (136)Better than 62%
C−AA narrow range, from a partial year. Ordinary sampling error in 37 test results could put Mancos anywhere from C− to A. Only about 1 in 7 Mancos students in the tested grades sat the spring 2022 tests (37 in math, 37 in reading), so the scores describe the students who took them more than the district as a whole.
