Summary:
The 80817 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Fountain School District No. 8, the School District No. 3, and the Hanover School District No. 28. While the schools in this area share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
Jordahl Elementary School and Eagleside Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the area, with CMAS test scores significantly above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. These schools also have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and free/reduced lunch percentages compared to their peers. In contrast, Welte Education Center, an alternative high school, has lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking than the traditional Fountain-Fort Carson High School.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, suggesting that underlying factors, such as socioeconomic status or resource allocation, may be contributing to these differences. Additionally, the strong performance of Janitell Junior High School suggests that the quality of middle school education may be an important factor in preparing students for success in high school. Overall, the schools in the 80817 zip code area face a range of challenges, but a few institutions stand out as models of excellence that could provide valuable insights for the broader educational community.
