2025-2026
Bridges High School is an AEC within the Roaring Fork School District (RFSD). The school was approved as an Alternative Education Campus (AEC) in August 2015. Students are typically referred to Bridges during their 11th or 12th grade years from one of the 3 other RFSD high schools. Reasons for referral include: poor attendance or participation in courses, a lack of achievement-including low credit accumulation, and challenges in adhering to behavioral norms set in traditional schools.

ely 20% of students continue to need Tier 3 interventions and support following their enrollment to stay enrolled and motivated to attend school. Though transfers are often initiated by the surrounding high schools, some are also family-motivated. Students transferring from other districts and/or other states occur less frequently with these students comprising 5% of the student population. As of October 2025, ~50 students were enrolled at Bridges High School. Demographic information showed: 70% Latinx, 28% Anglo, and 2% two or more races. Bridges High School is staffed using the same per pupil ratio as the comprehensive high schools in the districts. The district also provides allocations for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) and Special Education (SPED) based on spring projections. Currently, 30% of our student population is served by IEPs, 10% are currently in the CLDE program, and 37% of students have exited the CLDE program. Because our October count number has been lower than the 85 students that we approximate serving for the past 2 years, our staffing allotment has been reduced by 1 FTE, even though our enrollment may increase at 3rd, 4th, and 5th six-week block (hexter) transitions. Bridges High School has one administrator, one financial specialist/registrar, one family liaison and 5 FTE for certified instructional staff, additional FTE are provided based on enrollments noted above. All staff and faculty, by virtue of our staff size, do multiple jobs within the school. We offer academic classes, classes that support the development of executive skills, and social-emotional learning courses. The entire teaching staff and paraprofessionals participate in building-level professional development weekly. All teachers in the district, including Bridges HS teachers, have access to a district-level team of curriculum and instructional specialists, and participate in subject specific district-level professional development monthly led by this team. Bridges High School was awarded the Student Re-Engagement Grant again for the 2025-26 SY. We are utilizing funds to reach out to students that have dropped out, have a drop in attendance, or are not achieving. Additionally, we are increasing our capacity to offer a robust ACE Career Pathway to all students in order to increase student engagement. This grant funds a 0.5 FTE for a school social worker and 0.5 FTE for a Work-Based Learning (WBL) coordinator. The objective of these staff members is to work within the school and with community organizations to determine and provide wrap-around services for students as we address these concerns. Bridges staff regularly review assessment data results and school data from the previous school year during teacher in-service week in August. We gathered personal student data (GPA, credits, behavior, and attendance) at-risk information, and reviewed each student?s progress. The school administrator interviews each graduate to gather information about what practices helped them be successful and to determine areas for growth. Lastly, students and transferring schools are interviewed prior to transfers from other schools when information regarding their individual needs, obstacles, and potential interventions is collected. Priorities for the current school year were selected based on these quantitative and qualitative data and were vetted by the Chief Academic Officer.
