Summary:
The 80516 zip code area is home to 10 high-performing schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re1J. These schools generally excel academically, with several standouts like Erie Elementary School, Highlands Elementary School, and Soaring Heights Pk-8 ranking among the top 25% of Colorado schools in their respective categories.
The student population in these schools is predominantly white, ranging from 66.89% to 83.01%, with Hispanic and Asian students making up the next largest racial groups. Free and reduced-price lunch rates vary, from a low of 8.23% at Aspen Ridge Preparatory School to a high of 26.58% at Grand View Elementary. Student-teacher ratios are generally within a reasonable range, contributing to the strong academic performance observed across the district.
While the schools in the 80516 zip code area are performing well overall, there are a few areas that could be further explored, such as the notable difference in performance between the charter school (Aspen Ridge Preparatory School) and the traditional public schools, as well as the need to focus on diversity and inclusion efforts to better serve the entire community. Additionally, the varying free and reduced-price lunch rates suggest that economic equity may be an area for targeted support and intervention.
