School District
The Rangely School District employs a high quality staff of 35 certified, 30 classified and 4 administrators that is committed to excellence. This commitment is the foundation of a team concept that includes all employees and the board of education. The implementation of a 4-day school week has provided teachers and staff with PLC collaborative time to introduce new concepts and strategies of learning into the teacher’s instructional design.
The district boasts beautifully designed and well maintained facilities. Parkview Elementary School (PK-5) and Rangely Jr/Sr High School (6-12) serve 561 students. In an effort to maintain and upgrade facilities, the district passed a $15 million bond election in November of 2008 to focus on the facilities infrastructure. The school district is supported by a mill levy passed in 2010 ($325,000 annually for 5 years) and an education foundation funded through local sales taxes. The district maintains a healthy ending fund base equal to 40% of educational expenditures.
The district and community take great pride in the number of extracurricular activities that complement the academic program including student government, math club, chess club, FBLA, FFA, parent-teacher nights, consistency club and competitive athletics.

The Community
Rangely is a community of approximately 2,100 residents located conveniently between Salt Lake City and Denver. The driving industries of the area are extractive oil, gas and coal.
At an elevation over 5,200 feet, the topography is best described as high prairie and is a paradise for those who enjoy hunting and fishing. Nearby rivers and the abundance of public lands make Rangely an excellent location for those who enjoy outdoor activities ranging from hiking and camping to trail bikes and four-wheeling. For additional warm weather fun, a small reservoir is located just five miles outside of town.
As should be expected in a remote community, Rangely has a broad range of services including a supermarket, several retail stores, a motel and business center and restaurants. The community recreation center provides year-round opportunities for those of all ages including youth sports leagues and events, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, exercise equipment, racquetball courts and a nine-hole golf course.
Colorado Northwestern Community College provides a traditional program along with several vocational opportunities such as a nationally recognized dental hygiene program and a unique flight program. The college also offers a variety of educational programs for the community. Once a family establishes residence in the community, the tuition at the college is waived.
