Summary:
The 80003 zip code area of Arvada, Colorado is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, with a mix of traditional public schools, public charter schools, and an alternative school. The schools are part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, the Westminster Public Schools district, and the State Charter School Institute.
Among the standout schools in the area, Hackberry Hill Elementary School consistently performs in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools, with strong test scores and a 4-out-of-5-star rating. In contrast, North Arvada Middle School and Tennyson Knolls Preparatory School struggle academically, with test scores well below district and state averages. The area's charter and alternative schools, such as Two Roads Charter School and Early College of Arvada, have mixed performance profiles, with some strengths and weaknesses.
Across the schools, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging around 27.7%, are a concern, and there appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic factors, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Tennyson Knolls Preparatory School and Little Elementary School, tend to have the lowest test scores.
