Summary:

ZIP code 80910 in Colorado Springs contains 9 schools—8 elementary schools and 1 high school—serving roughly 3,163 students across Harrison School District No. 2 and Colorado Springs School District No. 11 in a high-poverty area where about 79.6% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. There are no standalone middle schools, though Mountain Vista Community School and Carmel Community School serve students through 8th grade. Chronic absenteeism is nearly double the state average, and math proficiency trails well behind.

Mountain Vista Community School is the clear academic leader—the only school in the ZIP where ELA proficiency (47.8%) exceeds the state average—and it improved from a 2-star to a 3-star rating this year. Monterey Elementary School is the most consistent performer, earning 2 stars for three straight years with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (30.0%) and 5th-grade science proficiency matching the state average. Rogers Elementary School is a turnaround story: math proficiency nearly tripled in one year to 32.4%, the highest in the ZIP. At the other end, Adams Elementary School (ranked 935/943) and Monroe Elementary School (ranked 925/943) are the lowest-performing schools, with ELA and math proficiency around 11%. Roosevelt Charter Academy and Centennial Elementary School also rank in the bottom 15% statewide.

The defining challenge is chronic absenteeism—about 46% ZIP-wide—and the lowest-performing schools have the highest rates. Eastlake High School of Colorado Springs, the only high school in the ZIP, is in severe distress with a 95.8% chronic absenteeism rate, a 41.3% graduation rate, and a 24.2% dropout rate; families may need to look beyond this ZIP for high school options. Math is a systemic weakness, and even Mountain Vista Community School shows a dramatic slide from 55.3% proficiency in 3rd grade to just 15.7% by 8th grade. District ratings can be misleading here: the lower-rated Harrison D2 has the best school in the ZIP, while D11 has the two worst. Still, there is momentum—Mountain Vista and Rogers both improved significantly, showing progress is possible even in this high-poverty area.
