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. This district is ranked 30th out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the area, Mead High School ranks 122nd out of 349 Colorado high schools and has the highest test scores in reading/writing and math compared to the district and state averages. Fall River Elementary School ranks 108th out of 933 Colorado elementary schools and has the highest test scores in English Language Arts and Math. The public charter Firestone Charter Academy also stands out, with strong performance in 8th grade science and English Language Arts.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. There appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch and academic performance, with the schools having the highest free/reduced lunch rates tending to have the lowest test scores. The middle schools in the 80504 zip code also show a wide range of performance, with Coal Ridge Middle School outperforming Trail Ridge Middle School on most metrics.
