In a recent government meeting, the Woodland Park School District presented its performance framework, highlighting significant achievements in academic performance across various school levels. The district earned a score of 73.8 out of 100, placing it just below the distinction rating but still accredited.

The performance framework evaluates schools based on academic achievement, growth, and postsecondary readiness. Notably, elementary schools in the district received a distinction rating for both academic achievement and growth, while middle schools also achieved distinction in these areas. High schools, however, are still in the process of improvement, with academic achievement rated as \"approaching\" and both academic growth and postsecondary readiness meeting expectations.

A detailed breakdown revealed that for English language arts, all students met growth expectations, with minority students exceeding them. In mathematics, the district exceeded growth expectations for all students and those eligible for free and reduced-price lunch.

Individual school performance varied, with Columbine Elementary scoring 78 points, Gateway Elementary at 64.2 points, and Summit Elementary achieving 89.5 points. Merit Academy, still in its early stages, earned 60.7 points due to insufficient data in the postsecondary readiness category. Middle and high schools also showed promising results, with Woodland Park Middle School scoring 81.7 points and Woodland Park High School earning 67 points.

The meeting also provided historical context, showing a trend of improvement over the years, even during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The district's commitment to academic growth and readiness is evident, with officials expressing optimism about continuing progress in the future.
