Summary:
The 80211 zip code area of Denver, Colorado is home to 13 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of School District No. 1. While the district is ranked 76 out of 115 in Colorado and has a 2-star rating, several standout schools in the area demonstrate strong academic performance.
Skinner Middle School ranks 51 out of 485 Colorado middle schools with a 4-star rating, boasting 64.4% proficiency in English Language Arts and 51% in Math. Valdez Elementary School is even more impressive, ranking 73 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools with a 5-star rating and 67.8% proficiency in ELA and 52.6% in Math. Brown International Academy also stands out as a 4-star elementary school with 62.5% proficiency in ELA and 50.9% in Math.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and lower-performing ones, such as Trevista at Horace Mann, Columbian Elementary, and Rocky Mountain Prep Sunnyside. This suggests that students in the 80211 zip code may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities, which may be exacerbated by the high poverty rates, with an average of 59.8% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across the schools.
