Summary

Standley Lake High School is a comprehensive public high school in Westminster, Colorado, serving about 1,123 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. After a dip during the pandemic years, the school has rebounded to rank in the 62nd percentile of Colorado high schools (127th out of 338), earning a 3-star rating.

The school's biggest strength is its graduation rate. At 91.3% for 2024–2025, Standley Lake graduates students at a notably higher rate than the district (86.7%) and state (85.6%) averages — and has done so every year since 2020–2021. Its dropout rate is also low, just 1.2%. Reading and writing are clear academic strong points: 75% of Standley Lake 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT Reading/Writing section, well above the state average (60%) and surpassing nearby Broomfield High School (69%) and Pomona Junior/Senior High School (50%). Science proficiency has also climbed steadily, reaching 35.1% in 2024–2025, above the state average of 24.8%. Encouragingly, low-income and Hispanic students perform as well as — or slightly better than — their White peers relative to statewide subgroup rankings, suggesting equitable outcomes across student groups.

Math is Standley Lake's clearest relative weakness. Only 32% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT math — 10 points below the district average and far behind top-area schools like Ralston Valley Senior High School (64%) and Monarch High School (61%). Chronic absenteeism is also a mild concern, with 30.2% of students chronically absent, above the district (26.6%) and state (28.4%) averages. Additionally, students receiving special education services have historically scored below statewide peers. Overall, Standley Lake sits solidly in the middle of a sharply divided local landscape — it substantially outperforms challenged schools like Arvada High School (71.6% graduation) and Hidden Lake Secondary (44% graduation), while not yet matching the area's elite schools. For parents, Standley Lake offers strong literacy outcomes, high graduation rates, and a diverse, economically mixed student body, with math achievement as the key area to watch.
