Since 2010, the Steamboat Springs School District has been consistently ‘Accredited with Distinction’ which has proved to be a major draw to families looking for a community in which to raise their children.

The National Association of Realtors’ 2019 Generational Trends study reveals that 43% of homebuyers in the 29-38 age bracket consider quality of the school district as a top-five factor influencing where they live.

In the last 20 years, the population of Steamboat Springs has risen by 32% with a 24% increase in school enrollment in only ten years. All six schools in the coveted district are now almost at, or over, capacity.

On the November 5 ballot, voters will be asked to consider a $79.5M, 20-year bond measure and two separate mill levy measures: $1.2M to increase teacher and staff compensation by an average of 6% and $2.8M to fund the operation of expanded spaces in existing schools and a new Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade school.
