While the district as a whole is ranked 107 out of 116 in Colorado and has a 0-star rating, one school in the area stands out - Murphy Creek K-8 School.

Murphy Creek K-8 consistently outperforms the district and state averages on CMAS test scores, with 54.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 48.7% in math, compared to 24.2% and 15.9% for the district, respectively.

In contrast, the other elementary/K-8 schools in the data set have rankings in the 600s-800s and 1-2 star ratings.

The remaining schools in the 80018 zip code area generally lag behind the district and state on test scores, with Vista Peak 9-12 Preparatory performing the worst on high school assessments. The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 47.76% at Murphy Creek K-8 to 59.68% at Harmony Ridge P-8, suggest the area has a relatively low-income population, which may be a contributing factor to the generally low test scores seen at most of the schools.
