Summary:

El Paso County Colorado School District 49 is home to 7 high schools serving grades 9-12, located in the Colorado Springs metropolitan area. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standouts like Pikes Peak Early College and Power Technical ranking among the top high schools in the state, while others like GOAL Academy and Patriot High School struggle to meet state standards.
