The Eagle County School District No. Re 50 in Colorado serves 19 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 54 out of 116 in Colorado and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Brush Creek Elementary School and Eagle County Charter Academy consistently perform above the district and state averages on CMAS tests, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Math. The specialized Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy (VSSA) also ranks in the top 25 high schools in Colorado and has exceptional test scores. Meanwhile, Red Sandstone Elementary School also stands out, with over 50% proficiency in both subjects across all grades.

However, the data also reveals stark contrasts in academic achievement across the district.

Addressing these disparities will be crucial for the district to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
