Summary:
The 80643 zip code area in Colorado is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Weld County School District Re-3j. While the district as a whole performs below the state average, one standout school in the area is Cardinal Community Academy Charter School, which consistently outperforms its peers on state assessments.
Cardinal Community Academy Charter School, an elementary/middle charter school, boasts impressive proficiency rates of 65.2% in English Language Arts and 45.1% in Math, far exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, the other schools in the area, including Weld Central Middle School and Weld Central Senior High School, have below-average performance, with proficiency rates in the bottom quarter of Colorado schools. This suggests the charter school model may be providing better educational outcomes for students in this area.
Across all schools, high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, are a concern and likely contributing to the overall lower academic performance. Additionally, the student population in this area appears to be relatively high-need, with most schools having over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing attendance, equity, and overall academic achievement should be key focus areas for the Weld County School District Re-3j moving forward.
