This area boasts some of the top-performing schools in the state, as well as some that struggle to meet academic standards, highlighting the significant disparities in educational outcomes within the same district.

The standout schools in this area are William (Bill) Roberts Ece-8 School, Westerly Creek Elementary, and Swigert International School, all of which have exceptional test scores and are consistently ranked among the top schools in Colorado. In contrast, DSST: Conservatory Green Middle School and DSST: Montview Middle School, both charter schools, struggle to meet state standards and have significantly lower test scores than their traditional public school counterparts.
