While the district is ranked 76 out of 115 in Colorado and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area are performing exceptionally well.
At the top of the list are William (Bill) Roberts Ece-8 School, ranked 14th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools with a 5-star rating, and Westerly Creek Elementary, ranked 24th and also with a 5-star rating. These schools boast impressive test scores, with over 75% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, some of the middle and high schools, such as the DSST: Conservatory Green Middle School and the DSST: Conservatory Green High School, struggle with proficiency rates below 30%.
Across the schools, there are some common challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates around 27.7% and varying free/reduced lunch rates from 19% to over 70%, indicating a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the top-performing schools tend to have slightly lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their success. Overall, the data suggests a clear divide in performance between the highest-ranked elementary and middle schools and the lower-performing middle and high schools in the 80238 zip code area.
