Summary:
The 80106 zip code area is home to two public schools - Elbert Elementary School serving grades PK-5 and Elbert Junior-Senior High School serving grades 6-12. Both schools are part of the Elbert School District No. 200.
Elbert Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, with relatively high proficiency on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, particularly in 4th grade. The school also excels in 5th grade science, exceeding district and state averages. However, the school still has room for improvement in reducing its chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%. In contrast, Elbert Junior-Senior High School struggles academically, lagging behind district and state averages in Math and Science proficiency. The high school does have a solid 9th grade PSAT performance in Reading and Writing, as well as a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a low dropout rate of 1.9%.
Both schools serve a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 35%. Addressing chronic absenteeism and considering socioeconomic factors could be important next steps for the district to improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
