~South Routt Schools- Inspiring the Next Generation~

The South Routt School District is located in rural Northwest Colorado, nestled at the base of the Flat Top Wilderness. Our schools are located on two campuses. The Elementary and Preschool are located in the heart of Yampa, while our secondary campus sits atop the hill and overlooks the quaint town of Oak Creek.

Our mission is to develop career-connected, community-based, and academically prepared students in a safe environment.

We strive to be the best small school district in Colorado, meeting the academic, social-emotional, and future needs of our students.

    Accredited with Distinction

    For the second year in a row, the South Routt School District has been Accredited with Distinction. Our exceptional scores in CMAS, PSAT, and SAT state testing the District have placed us in the top 9% of the all districts in the state of Colorado. SOROCO Middle School had the highest growth and achievement in the state in English Language Arts, and was in the top 3 middle schools in the state for Math growth and achievement.  High school Science scores were also above the state average while the 8th Grade Science scores were the second highest for all middle schools in the state.

    The learning that takes place in all of our classes contributes to our students' success. Our PK-5 classes, Ag, Band, Industrial Arts, and Art classes in addition to tested areas all contribute to developing our SOROCO students.  We are proud of our students, teachers, and staff for once again earning this distinction and we strive to be the best small school district in Colorado!
