Summary:

The 80504 zip code area is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re1J. The district is ranked 27th out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the area are Fall River Elementary School, which ranks 111th out of 950 Colorado elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math. Mead High School also stands out, ranking 114th out of 328 Colorado high schools with a 3-star rating and higher test scores than the district and state averages. Additionally, Firestone Charter Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school, has some strong performance, particularly in 6th-grade English Language Arts and Math.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Rocky Mountain Elementary School and Carbon Valley Academy. This suggests uneven educational opportunities and outcomes within the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% across all schools and the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 22% to 73%, indicate challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
