The 80304 zip code area of Boulder, Colorado is home to 6 schools serving students from early childhood through middle school, all part of the Boulder Valley School District No. Re2. This diverse set of schools showcases a wide range of academic performance, with standouts like Foothill Elementary School excelling and others like Columbine Elementary School struggling, particularly in math.

With 77.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 67.7% in Math, Foothill's academic performance is exceptional, likely due to its relatively high-income student population as indicated by a low 8.92% free/reduced lunch rate. In contrast, Columbine Elementary has a much higher 64.2% free/reduced lunch rate and lags behind in test scores, highlighting the stark socioeconomic differences within the 80304 zip code.
Other notable schools include Centennial Middle School, which ranks 147th out of 480 Colorado middle schools and has above-average test scores, and Casey Middle School, which has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking. The data also reveals the presence of Mapleton Early Childhood Center, the lone early childhood facility in the area, which could benefit from further analysis to ensure high-quality early education for the community's youngest learners.
