Summary:

The 80030 zip code area in Colorado is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. This diverse set of schools serves students across various grade levels and socioeconomic backgrounds, with stark contrasts in academic performance and student demographics.

Among the standout schools in the area, Arapahoe Ridge Elementary School and Cotton Creek Elementary School rank among the top 349 and 201 elementary schools in Colorado, respectively, and boast strong academic performance, particularly in science.
