Summary:
The 81635 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Grand Valley School District No. 16. Unfortunately, the schools in this area consistently perform below the state average on various metrics, with no standout schools in the district.
The test scores at these schools are significantly lower than the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts ranged from 11% to 16.5% at the schools, compared to the state average of 44.8%. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in CMAS/Math ranged from 5.5% to 7.1%, compared to the state average of 35.9%. The schools also struggle with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism, all of which are well above the state averages.
The data suggests that the schools in the 81635 zip code area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and student-teacher ratios that are generally higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the consistently low performance of the schools, and the Grand Valley School District No. 16 will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes across the district.
