Summary:
The 80601 zip code area of Brighton, Colorado is home to 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools, all part of the School District 27J. While the district is ranked 85 out of 115 in Colorado and has an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate strong academic performance.
Foundations Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with the highest performance on CMAS tests compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, Eagle Ridge Academy, a public charter high school, ranks 185 out of 328 Colorado high schools and has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.2%. Another high-performing school is Ascent Classical Academy of 27J, a public charter elementary/middle school with strong CMAS test scores, particularly in Science and English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools in the area, such as Northeast Elementary and South Elementary, which have the highest free/reduced lunch rates and the lowest test scores. This suggests that students in the 80601 zip code may not have equal access to high-quality education, and the School District 27J faces significant challenges in providing a consistently high level of education to all its students.
