Summary

Gypsum Creek Middle School is a public middle school located in Gypsum, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 362 students. The school is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 53 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a district with an overall 3-star rating, Gypsum Creek Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. Gypsum Creek Middle School's proficiency rates on the CMAS assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with a 2024-2025 CMAS/Math proficiency rate of 16.2% compared to the district's 29.6% and the state's 35.9%.

When compared to the nearby Eagle Valley Middle School, also part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, Gypsum Creek Middle School performs significantly worse across various metrics, including test scores, student group performance, and overall statewide ranking. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility at Gypsum Creek Middle School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing these challenges could potentially help the school improve its academic standing.
