Summary:
The 80136 zip code area in Colorado is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the schools in this area generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, a few stand out. Strasburg Elementary School has relatively high proficiency rates in CMAS Science, but lower than average rates in English Language Arts and Math. Hemphill Middle School has strong English Language Arts proficiency for 6th graders, but struggles in Math. Strasburg High School and Prairie Creek High School both have high 4-year graduation rates, but Prairie Creek has a very small enrollment of only 11 students.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across all schools in the 80136 zip code, with rates ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%. This could be an area of focus for the Strasburg School District 31J to improve student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, with high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Prairie Creek High (54.55%). This may impact academic performance and require additional support for these students.
Overall, the schools in the 80136 zip code have both strengths and areas for improvement. While some individual schools stand out, the district as a whole is ranked 69 out of 115 in Colorado and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The district and individual schools should focus on addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, improving academic performance, and providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.
