The Gunnison Watershed School District (GWSD) is located in the Gunnison Valley, a relatively remote area in southwestern Colorado that is a tourist-based destination for people wishing to participate in all forms of outdoor recreation. The Valley is surrounded by mountains and open space which attracts hikers, hunters, mountain bikers and others. Blue Mesa Reservoir provides year-round access for fishing and water sports while the Crested Butte ski area provides skiing opportunities in the winter and hiking/mountain biking fun in the summer. Geographically, the school district is the second largest in the State and serves the Gunnison, Crested Butte and Marble communities. The cost of living continues to rise throughout the valley and housing is one of the biggest challenges facing current and potential residents. With over 400 employees – FTE and contracted - the District is one of the largest employers in the Valley. The District offers Pre-K – 12 learning in Gunnison and K-12 learning in Crested Butte. The town of Marble has the Marble Charter School which provides its students a K-8 education. The District has a 25.2% free and reduced population, 14.5% are culturally and linguistically diverse, 8.6% are receiving special education services and 5.4% fall into the Gifted and Talented category. The District’s 2022-2023 student count was 2,061, which was a slight decrease from the prior year.
