Summary:

The 80105 zip code area is home to two schools - Deer Trail Elementary School and Deer Trail Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Deer Trail School District No. 26J. Unfortunately, the performance of these schools is quite poor, with both ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in the state.

Deer Trail Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 479 out of 933 Colorado elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 858 out of 950 in 2024-2025. Similarly, Deer Trail Junior-Senior High School has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 206 out of 327 Colorado high schools in 2009-2010 to 297 out of 349 in 2023-2024. Both schools perform significantly below the state average on CMAS tests, with only 13% of Deer Trail Elementary students proficient or better in 3rd grade ELA and 5th grade Science, compared to the state averages of 42% and 39% respectively.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue at both schools, with 27.7% of students chronically absent at both the elementary and high school levels. Additionally, Deer Trail Junior-Senior High School has a high percentage of students (55.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also has an 84.2% four-year graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate, which are both areas of concern. Overall, the data suggests that students in this area may be facing significant educational challenges that will require a multi-faceted approach to address.
