Agate School District No. 300

Located at 41032 2nd Avenue in Agate, Colorado, Agate School District No. 300 serves as an essential educational cornerstone for its surrounding community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district in a rural remote setting, the district manages two operational schools that deliver a seamless educational experience spanning from prekindergarten through 12th grade. Designed to provide a welcoming and accessible academic environment for local families, this non-charter district offers complete elementary and secondary programming, maintaining active engagement with the community through its campus and official portal at agateschools.net.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the district maintains an intimate student body of 85 enrolled children, including 12 pre-kindergarten learners alongside elementary, middle, and high school students. The vibrant student population includes 58 White students, 24 Hispanic students, and 3 students identifying with two or more races. A defining characteristic of the district is its exceptional staffing ratio: supported by nearly 18 full-time equivalent teachers, 11.5 support staff positions, and additional instructional aides—bringing the total workforce to nearly 30 full-time equivalent staff members—the district delivers a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of under 5 to 1. This robust staffing model enables highly personalized instruction, strong mentor relationships, and comprehensive academic support tailored to each student's unique learning journey.
