Summary:
The 80906 zip code area in Colorado Springs is home to 13 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12 and Harrison School District No. 2. While the schools in the Cheyenne Mountain district consistently outperform their counterparts in the Harrison district, the data reveals significant disparities in student outcomes across the two districts.
Cheyenne Mountain High School and Cheyenne Mountain Junior High School stand out as exceptional performers, consistently ranking among the top schools in Colorado. These schools boast impressive graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, the schools in the Harrison School District tend to have lower test scores compared to the state and district averages.
The data also highlights the importance of socioeconomic factors, with the Harrison School District schools reporting much higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, while the Cheyenne Mountain schools have significantly lower rates. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, regardless of district, are a concern and may be an area for further investigation and intervention. Overall, the data provides a comprehensive overview of the schools in the 80906 zip code area, underscoring the need to address underlying inequities and support all students in achieving academic success.
