Summary:
The 80403 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1 and the Gilpin County School District No. Re-1. The data reveals a diverse range of school performance, with some standout high-achieving schools as well as lower-performing schools that may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions.
The top-performing schools in the area are Fairmount Elementary School and Mitchell Elementary School, both part of the Jefferson County School District. These schools rank among the top 50 and 21 elementary schools in Colorado, respectively, and have impressive proficiency rates on CMAS assessments that significantly outperform the district and state averages. In contrast, Gilpin County Undivided High School and Gilpin County Elementary School have lower proficiency rates compared to the state and their own district averages, indicating potential areas for improvement.
Another standout school is Compass Montessori - Golden Charter School, which, despite lower proficiency rates on CMAS assessments, performs exceptionally well on college readiness tests like the PSAT and SAT. This suggests the school may be effectively preparing students for post-secondary success. Additionally, Coal Creek Canyon K-8 Elementary School, with its small student population and low student-teacher ratio, appears to be providing a more personalized educational experience, contributing to its above-average performance compared to the district and state.
