Best Public Schools in Aurora, CO

Summary:

The city of Aurora, Colorado is home to 103 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, across two main school districts - Cherry Creek School District No. 5 and Aurora Joint District No. 28. While the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with some standout schools like Cherokee Trail High School and Grandview High School ranking among the top in the state, many other schools struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The highest-performing schools in the data set include Aurora Quest K-8, which ranks 3rd out of all Colorado elementary schools, and Altitude Elementary School, ranking 21st. These schools boast exceptional proficiency rates, with 87-94% of students scoring proficient or better in English language arts and math. In contrast, several elementary and middle schools within the Aurora Joint District No. 28 struggle, with single-digit proficiency rates in core subjects.

The data suggests a strong correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. Schools serving more economically disadvantaged populations tend to have the lowest test scores and proficiency rates. Addressing these disparities will be crucial for ensuring all students in Aurora have the opportunity to succeed.
