Summary:
The 80440 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Park County School District No. Re-2. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.
South Park Middle School stands out as a relative success story, with its students outperforming the district and state averages on CMAS English Language Arts and Math tests. In contrast, Edith Teter Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates below the district and state. South Park High School performs well on the SAT, with 71% of 11th graders proficient or better in Reading and Writing, compared to 62% statewide.
The data also reveals socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having significant percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 36.43% to 45.77%. This suggests the 80440 zip code area faces economic disparities that may impact student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges, along with the high chronic absenteeism rates, should be a priority for the district in order to support student success across all schools in the area.
