Summary:
The 80012 zip code area in Colorado is home to 14 diverse schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, spread across the Cherry Creek School District No. 5 and Aurora Joint District No. 28. While the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and African American student population, there are stark contrasts in academic performance, with some schools like Aurora Quest K-8 excelling and others, such as Gateway High School and Aurora Hills Middle School, struggling to meet state averages.
The data reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools having higher percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Lotus School for Excellence at 88.01%, tending to have lower test scores. However, the presence of public charter schools like Lotus School for Excellence and Colorado Early Colleges Aurora suggests that school choice may be an important factor in the educational landscape of the 80012 zip code area.
Overall, the schools in the 80012 zip code area serve a diverse student population, with some standout performers like Aurora Quest K-8, which ranks 4th out of 933 Colorado elementary schools and has exceptional test scores. However, the data also highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds and ensure that all students in the 80012 zip code have access to high-quality learning opportunities.
