Living in Manitou Springs School District 14, Colorado

Manitou Springs School District 14 serves families in Manitou Springs and nearby areas such as Cascade, Chipita Park, Green Mountain Falls, Crystal Park, and Cedar Heights. The district is known for its small class sizes, strong sense of community, and student-centered approach. Students benefit from personalized attention, a challenging curriculum, and well-rounded programs in art, music, technology, and athletics. Most classrooms average under 25 students, which gives teachers time to support each child’s needs. Families moving to the district find a choice of unique neighborhoods with home prices ranging from affordable bungalows to custom homes. The district’s main schools include Manitou Springs Elementary, Ute Pass Elementary, Manitou Springs Middle, and Manitou Springs High. About a third of the students come from outside district boundaries, with many “choicing in” for the school culture and strong academic programs.

Living in the Manitou Springs School District means quick access to beautiful parks, mountain recreation, and the vibrant arts community the town is famous for. District 14 students enjoy enriching after-school activities, leading graduation rates in the Pikes Peak region, and unique learning experiences such as Ute Pass Elementary’s outdoor environmental programs. With dedicated staff and a core focus on “Relationships, Rigor, and Opportunity,” the district supports all learners, including gifted and special education. Families also benefit from continued investments in school safety and facility upgrades, with community-backed bonds funding modern learning spaces and security improvements. Notably, Manitou Springs High was one of the first in Colorado to launch a 1-to-1 student iPad program, reflecting the district’s commitment to technology in learning.
