Summary:
The 80951 zip code in Colorado has only one school, Mountain View Academy, an elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 with 358 students. The school is part of the El Paso County Colorado School District 49, which is ranked 46 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Mountain View Academy has faced some challenges in recent years, with declining test scores and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%. The school's proficiency rates on CMAS tests were below the district and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels in 2024-2025, with the exception of 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts. In 2023-2024, the school's performance was more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, and others below. Additionally, over a third of Mountain View Academy's students (36.59%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic need among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Mountain View Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which could be an asset in addressing the school's performance issues. The school's leadership and the district will likely need to investigate the root causes of the declining test scores and high chronic absenteeism, and implement targeted interventions to help improve student outcomes at Mountain View Academy.
