Understanding the 6/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Mancos School District RE-6 6 out of 10 — average among Colorado public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection.
