Summary:
The 80807 zip code area in Colorado is home to 3 public schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Burlington Public School District No. Re-6j. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
On standardized tests, all three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates than the state, particularly in math. For example, in 2024-2025, Burlington Elementary School had only 23.2% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to the state average of 35.9%. At Burlington High School, just 5% of 11th graders scored proficient or better in SAT Math, versus 32% statewide. Graduation rates at the high school are also below average at 84.2%, and chronic absenteeism is very high across all three schools at 27.7%.
These academic struggles may be linked to the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.05% at Burlington Elementary to 68.98% at Burlington Middle School. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and providing additional support and resources to these schools and their students could be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the 80807 zip code area.
