Woodland Park High School also consistently performs well, ranking in the top 30% of Colorado high schools and having the highest SAT Reading/Writing and Math proficiency rates in the district.

However, the presence of an alternative public charter school, Merit Academy, provides families with additional educational options beyond the traditional public schools in the Woodland Park School District No. Re-2.
