The city of Swink, Colorado is home to two schools - Swink Elementary School and Swink Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Swink School District No. 33. While Swink Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools and produces strong academic results, the performance of Swink Junior-Senior High School has declined in recent years, now ranking in the middle of Colorado high schools.
