Summary:
The 80108 zip code area in Colorado is home to 4 exceptional elementary schools, all part of the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, which is ranked 5th out of 116 districts in the state. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in Colorado, with several standout institutions that offer a high-quality education to their students.
Leading the pack is American Academy, a public charter school serving grades PK-8 that has been in the top 100 elementary schools in Colorado for the past 3 years. With an impressive 70.7% of students proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts and 62.3% in CMAS/Math, American Academy's academic performance is truly exceptional. Another standout is Timber Trail Elementary School, a public elementary school (grades PK-5) that has also been a top performer, ranking in the top 60 elementary schools in Colorado for the past 3 years. Timber Trail's test scores are equally impressive, with 71.7% of students proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts and 71.8% in CMAS/Math.
While the schools in this area generally perform very well on state assessments, there are some areas that could be further explored. The student populations at these schools are predominantly white, ranging from 63.77% at American Academy to 77.24% at Timber Trail Elementary, suggesting a lack of diversity that may need to be addressed. Additionally, the low free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 3.25% to 8.02%, indicate these are relatively affluent school communities, raising questions about equity and access to high-quality education for families of lower socioeconomic status in the area.
