Summary:
The 80214 zip code area in Colorado is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Edgewater Elementary and Lumberg Elementary) and 1 junior/senior high school (Jefferson Junior/Senior High School). These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the schools, Edgewater Elementary stands out as a relative bright spot, with the highest CMAS English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates, including an impressive 70.6% 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate. In contrast, the other schools in the area are performing significantly below the Jefferson County School District and state averages across various academic measures, such as SAT and CMAS assessments.
The combination of low test scores, high poverty rates, and relatively high student-teacher ratios at these schools suggests that they may require substantial additional resources and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges they face and improve student outcomes. While the data paints a concerning picture, the success of Edgewater Elementary indicates that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and apply them to the other schools in the area.
