Summary:
The 80923 zip code area in Colorado is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - El Paso County Colorado School District 49 and Colorado Springs School District No. 11. While the schools show a wide range of performance, a few standouts include Ridgeview Elementary School, Scott Elementary School, and Freedom Elementary School, all of which have consistently high test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates.
The data reveals significant variation in school performance, even within the same district, suggesting opportunities to learn from the highest-performing schools and apply best practices across the area. Graduation rates are generally above the state average, but chronic absenteeism is a concern, with all schools in the data set reporting high rates. Test scores also vary widely, with some schools, like Ridgeview Elementary and Scott Elementary, showing strong proficiency in both English Language Arts and Math, while others struggle.
The two school districts represented in the data set also show different overall performance levels, with El Paso County Colorado School District 49 schools generally outperforming Colorado Springs School District No. 11 schools. Additionally, Pioneer Technology and Arts Academy, a charter school in the area, has seen a decline in its performance over the past 3 years, dropping from a 4-star to a 2-star rating, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to help the school regain its high-performing status.
