Summary:
The 80233 zip code area in Colorado is home to 10 schools, all part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. The schools include 9 elementary schools and 1 middle school, with no high schools or alternative schools represented. While the district is ranked 52 out of 115 in Colorado and has a 3-star rating, the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance.
Two schools stand out as high-performing: Hulstrom K-8, ranked 6th out of 950 Colorado elementary schools with a 5-star rating, and STEM Lab, ranked 266th with a 4-star rating. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages on CMAS tests. In contrast, Northglenn Middle School has proficiency rates below 25% in both English Language Arts and Math, far below the state and district averages.
The data suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Northglenn Middle, Stukey Elementary, and Leroy Elementary, also have the lowest test scores. Additionally, the two magnet schools, STEM Lab and The Studio School, are outperforming the traditional public schools in the area, indicating that specialized curriculum and teaching approaches may be more effective.
