Summary:
The city of Commerce City, Colorado is home to 22 schools across two school districts - School District N. 14 and School District 27J. The schools include 14 elementary, 4 middle, 3 high, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.
Among the standout schools in Commerce City are Landmark Academy at Reunion, a public charter elementary/middle school that consistently ranks in the top 40% of Colorado elementary schools, and Reunion Elementary School, another high-performing school in the top 40% of the state. The Victory Preparatory Academy Middle and High Schools also perform well, with the middle school ranked in the top 50% of Colorado middle schools and the high school in the top 50% of Colorado high schools.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the city. While some schools like Landmark Academy and Reunion Elementary excel, many others, particularly those in School District N. 14, struggle to meet proficiency standards. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at several schools, and the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch indicate widespread economic challenges facing the student population. Addressing these inequities and replicating the practices of the highest-performing schools will be crucial for ensuring all students in Commerce City receive a quality education.
