Summary:
The Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1 in Colorado is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from preschool through 5th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics, with some standout institutions that parents may want to consider.
The top-performing elementary school in the district is Carbondale Community Charter School, which ranks 219th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools and earns 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This charter school boasts the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math across all grades compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. Another strong performer is Sopris Elementary School, which ranks 408th statewide and has the highest proficiency rates among the traditional public elementary schools in the district. Basalt Elementary School also stands out, ranking 484th statewide and having the highest proficiency rates among the traditional public schools.
The data suggests that factors such as school type (charter vs. traditional public), socioeconomic status (as indicated by free and reduced lunch rates), and specific school-level practices and policies may be more influential in determining academic outcomes than the racial composition or student-teacher ratios of the schools. Parents in the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1 area should carefully consider these factors when evaluating the best elementary school options for their children.
