About MSSD14 Schools

Manitou Springs School District 14 serves approximately 1450 students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12 who reside in the communities of Manitou Springs, Cascade, Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Park and Cedar Heights. In addition, over 400 students “choice” into our District from other towns in El Paso and Teller Counties. We offer a “small town” educational environment and we are driven by “Relationships, Rigor and Opportunity” as we serve our children and our communities. At Manitou Springs District 14 we are proud of our success in meeting the needs of every student. In addition to a challenging academic curriculum, all of our schools offer comprehensive art, physical education, music, computer technology, special education, and gifted and talented instruction. Students may choose from many enriching after school programs, particularly at the middle and high school. Our schools have consistently received a “High” rating on the Colorado state Accountability Report. The class sizes in our elementary schools typically range from 18-25 students. Average middle school size is 24 students, and average high school class size is 22 students.

 

“Free All Day Kindergarten”
Manitou Springs School District 14 is truly a school of choice on the West Side of Colorado Springs.  As the population of District 14 has grown older, the number of resident children has declined, creating space for choice students.  Over 30% of our students come to us from neighboring school districts

Choice parents and students repeatedly tell us that they love our schools because:

We are a high performing district as determined by the Colorado Department of Education
We value the arts and “whole child” education
We choose not to be driven by CSAP test scores
Our schools offer a safe and caring environment
We are a “small town” district with tight family and community connections.
