Summary:
The 80031 zip code area is home to 13 schools serving students from preschool through 12th grade, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. These schools are spread across several districts, including the State Charter School Institute, Education Reenvisioned BOCES, Westminster Public Schools, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, and Julesburg School District No. Re1.
Among the standout schools in the area, Academy of Charter Schools stands out with strong academic performance, proficiency rates above the state and district averages in many subjects, a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2%, and a low dropout rate of 1.9%. Another high-performing school is Colorado Preparatory Academy High School, which also boasts an 84.2% 4-year graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate. Additionally, Crown Pointe Charter Academy has generally higher proficiency rates than the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals stark differences in academic performance across the schools in the 80031 zip code area. While some schools excel, others struggle to meet state and district averages, particularly in math and science. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at many of the schools, up to 92.26%, suggest that these schools serve predominantly low-income populations, which likely contributes to the academic challenges they face. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across the schools, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, are concerning and may be a significant factor in the academic performance issues.
