Summary:
The 80241 zip code area in Colorado is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 51 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating, the individual schools within the district show a wide range of academic performance.
The standout school in the area is Westgate Community School, a public charter school for grades K-12 that outperforms the district and state averages on many standardized tests, including 72.2% proficiency in 11th grade science, 49.2% proficiency in English Language Arts, and 26.3% proficiency in math. Another high-performing school is Eagleview Elementary School, which ranks 363 out of 933 Colorado elementary schools and exceeds the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, some schools, like Shadow Ridge Middle School and Skyview Elementary School, struggle to meet the district and state averages on standardized tests.
The data also reveals a correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population, as measured by the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance. The higher-poverty schools generally perform worse on standardized tests. Additionally, the two alternative schools in the area, Pathways Future Center and Five Star Online Academy, have lower academic performance compared to the traditional public schools, highlighting the unique challenges faced by these types of educational models.
