Swink School District No. 33

The Swink School District No. 33 in Colorado is home to two schools: Swink Elementary School and Swink Junior-Senior High School. While the elementary school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools and outperforms state averages on standardized tests, the high school shows a more mixed performance, with strong results on college entrance exams but lower scores on state assessments.

Swink Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and excelling in CMAS/Science, CMAS/English Language Arts, and CMAS/Math assessments. However, the school serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced lunch rate of 55%. In contrast, Swink Junior-Senior High School has a lower free and reduced lunch rate of 31.34%, indicating a less economically diverse student population.

While Swink Junior-Senior High School may not match the elementary school's performance on state assessments, it excels in preparing students for college, with its 11th-grade students outperforming the state averages on PSAT and SAT exams. This suggests the high school is effectively supporting its students' academic growth and college readiness, even if there is room for improvement in certain subject areas.
