Summary:
The city of Woody Creek, Colorado is home to a single public charter school, Aspen Community Charter School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 137 students. This standout school consistently outperforms the Aspen School District No. 1 and the state of Colorado in academic assessments, ranking among the top 41% of elementary schools statewide.
Aspen Community Charter School's academic excellence is evident in its CMAS test scores, with 68.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 55.1% in Math, compared to the district's 51.2% and 42.3%, and the state's 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. The school's strong performance has earned it recognition as one of the top-performing elementary schools in Colorado, reaching the top 20% in 2018-2019.
While the school's student population is predominantly White (89.78%), it does have a small percentage of students from other racial backgrounds, including Asian (5.11%), Hispanic (2.19%), Native American (1.46%), and Pacific Islander (0.73%), contributing to a diverse learning environment. However, the lack of information on the school's free/reduced lunch rate makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic diversity of the student population and potential equity concerns, an area that would require further investigation.
