Summary:
The city of Glenwood Springs, Colorado is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1. While the district as a whole is ranked 60 out of 116 in Colorado and rated 3 stars, a few standout schools emerge from the data, including the high-performing Two Rivers Community School and Sopris Elementary School.
Two Rivers Community School, a public charter elementary/middle school, boasts the highest overall performance on CMAS tests in the district, with particularly strong results in English Language Arts. In contrast, Glenwood Springs Elementary School and Riverview School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. This disparity in academic performance suggests that students in Glenwood Springs may not have equal access to quality education, potentially correlated with socioeconomic factors like the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The diverse student population in Glenwood Springs, with a significant Hispanic student representation, may also present challenges in supporting English Language Learners. However, the presence of a public charter school option, like Two Rivers Community School, indicates that families have some choice when it comes to their children's education. Overall, the data highlights both areas of strength and areas for improvement within the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1, suggesting that addressing disparities and supporting underserved populations could be key priorities for the district.
