Summary:
Zip code 80113 in Englewood, Colorado is home to one high school — Englewood High School — which serves grades 9 through 12 and enrolls 515 students. The school belongs to Englewood School District No. 1, which ranks 78th out of 115 Colorado districts and holds a 2-star rating. With nearly 68% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, and its student-teacher ratio is 15.1.
Englewood High School outperforms its district in several important areas. Its graduation rate of 79.3% is nearly 16 percentage points higher than the district's 63.4%, and 11th graders posted 29.4% proficiency in CMAS Science — above both the district's 23.6% and the state's 24.8%. The school also beats its district on SAT Reading/Writing (55% vs. 53%) and PSAT 9 Reading/Writing (54% vs. 52%). However, concerning metrics remain: the dropout rate of 6.4% is four times the state average of 1.6%, and chronic absenteeism affects 42.7% of students, compared to 28.4% statewide. Math proficiency lags the state, with PSAT 9 Math at 33% versus 40% statewide.
The school's ranking has been stable, hovering around the 36th–37th percentile statewide for three consecutive years, but year-over-year results are mixed. Science proficiency improved by more than four points, and SAT Reading/Writing ticked upward, but PSAT 10 Reading/Writing dropped sharply from 63% to 50%. Graduation, attendance, and dropout challenges are interconnected and represent the most significant barriers to improvement. While Englewood High School holds steady relative to its peers, addressing chronic absenteeism and math proficiency will be essential for meaningful upward movement.
