Summary:
The 80230 zip code area in Colorado is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. These schools face significant challenges, with all of them consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages on academic measures.
Lowry Elementary School is the largest of the three, with 392 students, but it has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom third of Colorado elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Vanguard Classical School - West, a public charter school serving grades K-8, also has low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools and receiving a 0-star rating. Similarly, New America School - Aurora, a public charter high school, ranks in the bottom 5% of Colorado high schools and has received a 0-star rating.
All three schools serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.7% to 87.95%. This may contribute to the academic struggles observed across the schools. While the overall performance is concerning, New America School - Aurora stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a low dropout rate of 1.9%, suggesting the school may be providing valuable support and opportunities for its students.
