Mountain BOCES is a cooperative educational service agency covering ten central Rocky Mountain school districts and Colorado Mountain College.  We are now in our 41st year of providing programs, services, and expertise that are more efficient, more economical, and of higher quality than could be achieved by one district alone.  Our strategic goal is to inspire Trust at all levels of our organization and with all of our partners, to promote Transparency in our fiscal practices and professional activities and interactions, and to focus on getting Traction to accomplish the most important goals--Trust, Traction, and Transparency.

U.S News and World Report reviewed 21,776 U.S. public high schools, and 88 Colorado schools made their rankings.  Aspen High School ranked first in Colorado and 59th in the nation.  Using primarily 2009-10 test results and taking economic and social demographics into account, the first steps considered how high schools stacked up relative to others in their state.  They were next judged on an index that measures the best college-level achievement based on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate test data.

Congratulations, Aspen, to your students, your staff, and your administration!
