Summary:
The city of Glenwood Springs, Colorado is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 0 alternative schools. These schools are part of the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1, except for Yampah Mountain School which is part of the Colorado River BOCES district.
Sopris Elementary School and Two Rivers Community School stand out as the top-performing schools in the area. Sopris Elementary consistently scores well above district and state averages on CMAS tests and is ranked 441 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools. Two Rivers Community School also performs strongly on CMAS tests, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Glenwood Springs Elementary School and Riverview School have the lowest CMAS proficiency rates among the elementary schools.
The data also reveals concerning trends across the district, such as alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates and a decline in Glenwood Springs High School's statewide ranking. Additionally, there are significant disparities in academic performance and socioeconomic factors between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools, which may be linked to systemic issues within the Roaring Fork School District. However, the success of Sopris Elementary and Two Rivers Community School suggests that there is potential for improvement across the district.
