Summary:

ZIP code 80634 contains 19 schools serving roughly 12,900 students in Greeley, Colorado, spanning elementary through high school and operating primarily within Greeley School District No. 6 (ranked 97th of 115 Colorado districts) plus two schools in Centennial BOCES. The area serves a predominantly low-income population, with an average free/reduced lunch rate of 67.5% and chronic absenteeism of 34.9% — well above the state average of 28.4%.

Performance varies enormously across the ZIP code. Early College Academy is the clear standout, ranking 62nd of 338 high schools statewide with SAT Reading/Writing of 72 and SAT Math of 48, far above state averages, despite a 62.1% free/reduced lunch rate. S. Christa McAuliffe STEM Academy is the top K-8 school (345th of 943 elementary schools), with CMAS ELA and math above state averages. West Ridge Academy has the lowest chronic absenteeism (14.9%) and strong 8th-grade science (57.7% vs. 36.4% statewide). University Schools has a 97.8% graduation rate and SAT Reading/Writing at the state average, while Union Colony Preparatory School ranks solidly among Colorado high schools. At the other extreme, Shawsheen Elementary School, James Madison STEAM Academy, and Scott Elementary School rank in the bottom 10% statewide, and Franklin Middle School and Prairie Heights Middle School both sit near the bottom of all Colorado middle schools.

Math is the area's biggest academic weakness, especially in the middle grades, where 7th-grade proficiency drops to single digits. Chronic absenteeism tightly tracks performance: the lowest-absenteeism schools (West Ridge Academy, S. Christa McAuliffe STEM Academy, Early College Academy, Union Colony Preparatory School) have the best outcomes, while Centennial BOCES High School (69.4%), Innovative Connections High School (51.1%), and Prairie Heights Middle School (45.7%) struggle most. Traditional high schools like Greeley West High School (91.9%) and Northridge High School (94.4%) graduate students well despite low test scores. These BOCES schools serve small, high-risk populations and should not be compared directly with traditional schools. Overall, attendance, poverty, and math proficiency are the strongest differentiators, and the biggest opportunity for improvement lies in the middle grades.
