Summary:
The 80204 zip code area of Denver, Colorado is home to 13 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 5 high schools, all part of School District No. 1. While the district is ranked 78 out of 116 in Colorado and has a 2-star rating, a few standout schools in the area are worth noting.
The Girls Athletic Leadership School Middle School and Girls Athletic Leadership School High School, both charter schools, are the top performers in the area. The middle school ranks 150 out of 485 Colorado middle schools and has strong academic performance, while the high school ranks 253 out of 349 Colorado high schools and outperforms the district and state on several standardized tests. Another standout is the Denver Center for International Studies, a public magnet high school that ranks 241 out of 349 Colorado high schools and also has higher than average test scores.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the higher-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as West High School, Lake Middle School, and Cheltenham Elementary School. This suggests that factors beyond just the school's location and district may be contributing to these differences, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the academic challenges faced by many of the schools in the 80204 zip code area.
