Summary:

The city of Glenwood Springs, Colorado is home to two high schools: Glenwood Springs High School and Yampah Mountain School. Glenwood Springs High School is the larger of the two, with 1,036 students, while Yampah Mountain School is a smaller alternative high school with 165 students.

Glenwood Springs High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 145th in 2022-2023 to 199th in 2024-2025, and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school generally performs below the state and district averages in various standardized tests, including CMAS/Science, SAT, and PSAT. In contrast, Yampah Mountain School has significantly lower test scores compared to the state average, particularly in SAT Reading and Writing.

Both schools have similar graduation rates of 84.2% and dropout rates of 1.9% for the 2023-2024 school year. However, they both face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with 27.7% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be a contributing factor to the schools' lower academic performance and could be an area of focus for improvement.
