Summary:

Zip code 80550, covering Windsor and Severance, Colorado, contains 15 schools — nine elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools — serving roughly 8,700 students. All schools belong to the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, a 4-star district ranked 19th out of 115 in Colorado (83rd percentile). School sizes range from 256 students at Mountain View Elementary School to 1,094 at Windsor High School, and the zip code includes traditional public schools, charter schools, and a K-8 charter academy.

The Windsor Charter Academy network is the clear academic leader at every level. Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School ranks in the 94th percentile statewide with 89% SAT reading/writing and 69% math proficiency, plus a 100% graduation rate. Windsor Charter Academy Elementary School ranks in the 87th percentile with CMAS ELA proficiency of 69.8% and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the zip code at 6.9%.

Among traditional public schools, Grandview Elementary School stands out in the 76th percentile with strong math and science scores, while Windsor High School posts a 96.2% graduation rate and 0.8% dropout rate.

Severance High School graduates 93.0% of students, but SAT math proficiency is just 30%. Chronic absenteeism tracks with performance: Skyview Elementary School and Hollister Lake Elementary rank in the 48th percentile with higher absenteeism, while the top-performing schools have the lowest rates. Notable grade-level concerns include American Legacy Academy's 7th grade math proficiency of just 11.1% and 4th grade dips at Range View Elementary.
