Summary

Red Hill Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Gypsum, CO, serving 336 students as part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50. The school has climbed steadily from the 15th to the 36th percentile among Colorado elementary schools over the past three years, earning a 2-star rating for 2025–2026. While that places Red Hill below the state average overall, it is the second-highest-ranked elementary school in its district, trailing only Brush Creek Elementary School and performing well above several nearby schools.

The school's most encouraging trend is in English Language Arts, where proficiency jumped from 21.7% to 38% in just two years. Its 5th-grade science program is a genuine bright spot: at 39% proficient, Red Hill outperforms every nearby school with reported scores, including Brush Creek Elementary School (37.5%), Edwards Elementary School (20.8%), Eagle Valley Elementary School (16.3%), Stone Creek School (20.0%), and Gypsum Elementary School (6.3%) — and it exceeds both district and state averages. Math remains the biggest challenge, with only 23.9% proficient, and 3rd-grade literacy and numeracy scores lag state averages. However, 4th graders are performing close to or above district benchmarks.

Red Hill's attendance is a relative strength: 25.7% chronic absenteeism is better than the district (31.1%) and state (28.4%), and far better than nearby Gypsum Elementary School (40.6%), which sits just 1.4 miles away and trails Red Hill significantly across every subject. The school serves a moderate-poverty population (44.4% free/reduced lunch) and maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, investing in small class sizes. The contrast with Gypsum Elementary — in achievement, attendance, and economic profile — suggests school-level factors are making a real difference at Red Hill. With recent literacy gains and continued science success, Red Hill shows clear momentum for improvement.
