Best Public Schools in Zip Code 80227


Summary:

The 80227 zip code area is home to 9 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two different school districts - Jefferson County School District No. R-1 and School District No. 1. While the area has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, the data reveals stark differences in academic achievement, with some standout schools like Green Gables Elementary School and Bear Creek High School significantly outperforming their peers.

The highest-performing school in the area is Green Gables Elementary, which ranks in the top 62% of Colorado elementary schools and earns 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. Its students excel on CMAS tests, performing well above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Traylor Academy stands out as the lowest-performing school, ranking in the bottom 8% of Colorado elementary schools and earning 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars.

The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, with the schools that have the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, like Summit Academy, also having the lowest test scores. This raises concerns about educational equity in the area and the need to ensure that all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities, regardless of their background or economic status.
