High Schools in Academy School District No. 20

Summary:

The Academy School District No. 20 in Colorado is home to 9 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools ranking among the top in the state.

The standout schools in the district are The Classical Academy High School and TCA College Pathways, both of which consistently rank in the top 15 and top 7 high schools in Colorado, respectively. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with The Classical Academy High School having 94% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, and 65% proficient or better in SAT Mathematics. TCA College Pathways also has impressive CMAS and PSAT/SAT scores across multiple subjects and grade levels.

While the district as a whole performs well, with all schools ranked 4 or 5 stars by SchoolDigger, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing Aspen Valley Campus. The district also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, and more variable performance in Mathematics compared to Reading and Writing. Overall, the Academy School District No. 20 provides a high-quality education to its students, but there is room for continued improvement to ensure equity and support for all learners.
