Summary:
The city of Eagle, Colorado is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50. The data reveals stark performance differences between the schools, with Brush Creek Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages in CMAS test scores, while Eagle Valley Elementary School lags behind.
Brush Creek Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 147 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 14.04%. In contrast, Eagle Valley Middle School also performs well, ranking 151 out of 469 Colorado middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages in CMAS test scores for English Language Arts and Science.
The data also highlights the importance of considering school-level factors, such as student-teacher ratios and demographic composition, when analyzing school performance. The high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the data set are a concern and may be an area that requires further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the inclusion of World Academy High School, a public virtual high school, provides an opportunity to compare its performance to the traditional brick-and-mortar high school in the district.
