Summary:
The 80829 zip code area is home to three schools: Manitou Springs High School, Manitou Springs Elementary School, and Manitou Springs Middle School. These schools, part of the Manitou Springs School District No. 14, demonstrate strong academic performance, with the high school ranking 105 out of 349 Colorado high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Manitou Springs High School stands out, outperforming the state and district averages in several key test score metrics, including SAT Reading/Writing, SAT Math, and PSAT10 Reading/Writing. The elementary school also impresses, with 5th-grade students exceeding the state average in CMAS Science and the school's CMAS English Language Arts scores surpassing the state average across all grades. While the schools have a predominantly white student population, they serve a relatively affluent community, as evidenced by their low free/reduced lunch rates.
Across the district, the Manitou Springs schools demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence, with the high school and elementary school emerging as particularly strong performers. However, the middle school's math scores tend to be closer to or slightly below the state and district averages, suggesting an opportunity for targeted interventions and support in this subject area. Overall, the Manitou Springs schools provide a high-quality education, but the district may also explore ways to further enhance diversity and ensure consistent academic success across all grade levels.
