Summary:
The city of Minturn, Colorado is home to a single public high school, the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy (VSSA), which serves grades 5-12 and has a total enrollment of 259 students. VSSA is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 54 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
VSSA appears to be a standout school, consistently ranking among the top 30 high schools in Colorado and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students generally outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 83% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, compared to 50% for the district and 58% for the state. While the school has a majority white student population, it also has a notable percentage of Hispanic students and students of two or more races, making it relatively diverse for the region.
Despite VSSA's academic excellence, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the school's socioeconomic diversity and potential equity issues. Additionally, the broader performance of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50 suggests there may be room for improvement in the overall quality of education in the area. Further investigation into the school's efforts to provide access and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as the district's initiatives to enhance educational outcomes, would be valuable for parents and the community.
