GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It was a very good school up until late 2023, when the administration began making questionable choices comcerning getting rid of classes and teachers. The school is gradually going downhill due to questionable administration decison making.

I like that students can have the opportunity to participate in concurrent enrollment to complete some college credits during their highschool experience. I would want Montezuma Cortez High School to provide more sports opportunities like lacrosse, swimming, hockey, and gymnastics.
