Summary

Battle Mountain High School is a comprehensive public high school in Edwards, Colorado, serving 916 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, placing it near the 30th percentile of Colorado high schools—a decline from its 3-star, 59th-percentile ranking in 2018-2019, and a trend that coincides with a rising share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (47.2% in 2024-2025, up from 32.9% just two years earlier).

On key metrics, Battle Mountain looks mixed but has some clear strengths. Its graduation rate is 85.3%, right at the state average and slightly above its district, though lower than Eagle Valley High School's 91.3% and far below the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy's 96.8%. At the same time, the school's dropout rate is very low (0.9%), and chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically—from 27.2% to 17.6% in a single year, which is much better than the district average of 31.1% and especially compared to alternatives like World Academy High School and Red Canyon High School. Academically, SAT reading/writing proficiency is 54% (vs. 60% statewide) and math is 22% (vs. 32%), while science proficiency on the CMAS exam is just 13.6%—well below Eagle Valley’s 27.4% and a steep drop from Battle Mountain’s own 25% a few years ago.

One of the school’s most pressing concerns is the achievement gap among student groups. White students rank in the 51st percentile statewide, while Hispanic students rank in the 20th and low-income students in the 31st—pointing to real disparities that the school is presumably working to address. Even more surprising, Gifted and Talented students have ranked at the 6th percentile for three straight years, suggesting that even the highest-ability learners may not be getting the challenge they need. Overall, Battle Mountain remains a stable, mainstream option in the valley, with strong attendance and persistence, but its sliding test scores and growing economic disadvantage make it a school worth watching closely.
