Summary:
The 80004 zip code area in Colorado is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools, all part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. While the district is ranked 35 out of 116 in Colorado and has a 4-star rating, the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, with some standouts and others struggling to meet state and district averages.
The top-performing schools in the area are Lincoln Charter Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school with consistently strong CMAS test scores, and Stott Elementary School, a public elementary school with the highest overall proficiency rates in the data set. At the high school level, Arvada West High School outperforms its counterpart, Arvada High School, on SAT, PSAT9, and PSAT10 tests.
However, the data also reveals a significant performance gap between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, particularly at the high school level. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Fremont Elementary School and Arvada High School, tend to have lower test score proficiency rates, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement. Overall, the analysis of schools in the 80004 zip code area provides valuable insights for parents and the community to understand the strengths and challenges of the local education system.
