Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73620

Summary:

The 73620 zip code area is home to two schools - Arapaho-Butler Elementary School and Arapaho-Butler High School, both part of the Arapaho-Butler school district. The data reveals that Arapaho-Butler Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arapaho-Butler Elementary School's test scores significantly outperform the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 60% of 3rd graders at the elementary school were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 27%. In contrast, Arapaho-Butler High School's performance has been more variable, with a 5-star rating in 2022-2023, a 3-star rating in 2023-2024, and a 4-star rating in 2024-2025.

Both schools face challenges, such as higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rates and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rates. Additionally, the per-student spending at the high school level is more than double that of the elementary school, suggesting potential funding disparities that may impact the quality of education and resources available to students.
