CREST ACADEMY

CREST ACADEMY is a public middle school that is part of the Salida School District No. R-32 school district, located in SALIDA, CO with about 28 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th Grade. With about 2 teachers, CREST ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CREST ACADEMY, located at 220 12th Street in Salida, Colorado, functions as an alternative education program within the Salida School District R-32-J. It is specifically designed to provide a flexible and supportive learning environment for students who may not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. By offering a personalized approach to academics, the academy aims to help students overcome barriers to learning, improve credit recovery, and ultimately work toward earning their high school diplomas.

The school emphasizes a smaller, more intimate community atmosphere that fosters strong relationships between students and faculty. By leveraging the resources of the larger Salida school system while maintaining a focused, student-centered culture, CREST ACADEMY strives to meet the diverse social, emotional, and academic needs of its student body. It serves as a vital pathway for students seeking a non-traditional route to graduation and personal success.
