Sopris Elementary School also performs above average, ranking in the top 50% of Colorado elementary schools and having the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math among the district's elementary schools. At the high school level, Roaring Fork High School stands out, ranking in the top 50% of Colorado high schools and demonstrating strong performance on SAT and PSAT assessments.

However, the district as a whole underperforms the state averages on CMAS, SAT, and PSAT assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 20-60% across different subjects and grade levels.

The district should further investigate the practices and strategies of the standout schools to identify best practices that could be replicated across the district to improve overall performance and address the concerning chronic absenteeism rates.
