Summary:

The 80011 zip code area of Aurora, Colorado is home to 13 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28. While the district is ranked 103 out of 115 in Colorado and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out as potential bright spots.

William Smith High School has the highest statewide ranking among the 80011 schools, ranking 272 out of 328 Colorado high schools, and boasts a 84.2% four-year graduation rate, higher than the district and state averages. Clyde Miller K-8 and Academy of Advanced Learning also show promise, with higher proficiency rates in several subjects compared to the district and state.

However, the majority of schools in the 80011 zip code are underperforming, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, significantly higher than the state average of 16.1%), and very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (79.65% to 96.98%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support will be crucial in improving student outcomes in this area.
