Summary:
Zip code 80863, located in Woodland Park, Colorado, contains one elementary school—Columbine Elementary School—serving grades PK through 6 with 321 students enrolled. The school is part of the Woodland Park School District No. Re-2, a high-performing district ranked 29th out of 115 districts statewide (75th percentile, 4 stars). However, Columbine itself is a mid-tier school, ranking 508th out of 943 Colorado schools (46th percentile, 2 stars) for the 2025–2026 school year.
Columbine's overall academic performance trails both its district and the state in most subjects. All-grades ELA proficiency is 37.3%, compared to 41.5% for the district and 44.7% for the state. In math, 34.5% of students are proficient, slightly below the district's 36.1% and the state's 37.3%. There are notable bright spots: 6th grade ELA proficiency is 50%, well above the state average of 41.6%, and 3rd grade math proficiency is 50%, exceeding both district and state averages. The school also showed strong year-over-year growth in math, jumping from 29.2% to 34.5% proficiency. Upper-grade math remains a concern, with only 26.7% of 6th graders proficient in math.
On attendance, Columbine Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rate is 19.5%, better than the district's 20.9% and well below the state's 28.4%. The school's ranking has improved from the 43rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 46th percentile in 2025–2026, though it has not yet returned to its 55th percentile showing in 2023–2024. For families in 80863, Columbine is the sole elementary option in the data set. About 42% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the school shows genuine strengths in 3rd grade math and 6th grade ELA, but families should be aware that upper-grade math and middle-grade ELA are areas needing improvement.
