Summary:

Eagle Valley High School is a public high school located in Gypsum, Colorado, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,051 students. The school is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 54 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eagle Valley High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 46.34% White and 50.71% Hispanic students, which is higher than the nearby Battle Mountain High School. Academically, the school's performance is generally on par or slightly above the district and state averages, with 52% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, compared to the district's 50% and the state's 58%. However, the school's 11th-grade math proficiency rate of 28% is lower than the district's 22% and the state's 31%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 22.36% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is lower than the nearby Battle Mountain High School.

Over the past several years, Eagle Valley High School's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 126 out of 255 Colorado high schools in the 2015-2016 school year to a ranking of 176 out of 349 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state. Additionally, the school's White students generally perform better than the Hispanic students, and the school's Gifted and Talented students have a relatively low ranking, indicating that the school may need to focus more on supporting the needs of its high-achieving students. Nearby Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy (VSSA), a specialized school with a focus on skiing and snowboarding, has consistently ranked among the top high schools in Colorado, which may contribute to the overall academic performance of the district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
