Summary:
Eagle, Colorado, is served by Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which operates four public schools—two elementary schools (PK–5), one middle school (6–8), and one small high school (9–12)—enrolling roughly 1,084 students total.
The standout in Eagle is Brush Creek Elementary School, ranked in the 68th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating. It far outpaces its neighborhood counterpart, Eagle Valley Elementary School, by 31.7 percentage points in English Language Arts (57.9% vs. 26.2% proficient) and 26.7 points in math (49.1% vs. 22.4%). Eagle Valley Elementary, in contrast, sits in the bottom 17% of Colorado elementary schools (1 star). The two schools have nearly identical enrollments (350 vs. 341) but very different free/reduced lunch rates (40.3% vs. 15.0%), suggesting socioeconomic factors heavily influence outcomes. Eagle Valley Middle School is a steady 3-star performer, beating district averages in both ELA (50.3% vs. 39.9%) and math (38.4% vs. 29.2%), yet it struggles with a 36.5% chronic absenteeism rate—the highest in the city and well above state and district averages.
World Academy High School presents the most concerning profile: a 60.0% graduation rate (vs. 85.6% statewide), a 2.2% dropout rate, and a staggering 45.6:1 student-teacher ratio—more than triple other Eagle schools. Despite having the lowest chronic absenteeism (13.0%), its poor outcomes suggest academic preparedness and engagement are the real barriers. Science proficiency is a common weak spot, except at Eagle Valley Middle School, where 8th-grade science (46.5%) exceeds the state by 11.1 points. Meanwhile, proficiency rates fell from 2024–25 to 2025–26 at nearly every school and subject, with the largest declines in elementary science (e.g., Brush Creek dropped 22.8 points). While class sizes are favorable (11.5–13.6:1) in the elementary and middle schools, the high school’s extreme ratio and low graduation rate make it the district’s most urgent priority.
