Summary:
Zip code 80443 in Frisco, Colorado, contains just one high school: Snowy Peaks Junior/Senior High School, a small 7–12 school serving 79 students within Summit School District No. Re 1.
Snowy Peaks Junior/Senior High School is an exceptionally small school, with just 13 students per grade on average and a low 7.7:1 student-teacher ratio. Its strongest results appear in graduation and dropout prevention: the most recent school-level graduation rate was 93.8% (well above the state’s 85.6%), and the dropout rate was 0.0%. The district’s graduation rate is also strong at 91.6%. However, academic proficiency is mixed. The school matches the state average in SAT Reading/Writing at 62%, beating the district’s 58%, but lags badly in CMAS English Language Arts (28.6% proficient vs. 44.8% statewide) and CMAS Math (23.8% vs. 35.9% statewide). A reported 2025–2026 CMAS ELA score of just 15.8% may indicate a sharp decline, though with a tiny student body, even one or two students can swing percentages dramatically.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern: 27.4% of students are chronically absent, which is slightly better than the district’s 34.4% but essentially in line with the state’s 28.4%. Given only 79 students, that means roughly 22 kids are missing significant school time. Nearly 42% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating substantial economic need. Despite these challenges, the school keeps students on track to graduate, and the district overall is rated 3 stars (37th out of 115 Colorado districts). For parents considering this area, Snowy Peaks offers a highly personalized environment with strong graduation outcomes, but families should be aware of below-average test proficiency in core subjects, high chronic absenteeism, and the volatility that comes with a very small school population.
