Best Public Schools in Zip Code 80906

Summary:

The 80906 zip code area of Colorado Springs, Colorado is home to 16 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, spread across two school districts - Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12 and Harrison School District No. 2. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance, with the Cheyenne Mountain schools consistently ranking among the top in the state, while the Harrison District schools face more challenges.

Cheyenne Mountain High School and The Vanguard School (High) stand out as exceptional high schools, ranking 23rd and 4th respectively out of 349 Colorado high schools. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with Cheyenne Mountain High School having 86% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Reading/Writing and 61% in SAT Math, and The Vanguard School (High) achieving 99% proficiency in SAT Reading/Writing and 91% in SAT Math. The Vanguard School (Elementary) and Gold Camp Elementary School also stand out as high-performing elementary schools in the area.

The data highlights the significant disparities in performance between the Cheyenne Mountain and Harrison school districts. Cheyenne Mountain schools tend to have lower free and reduced lunch rates, lower student-teacher ratios, and a higher percentage of white students, while the Harrison District schools face higher challenges. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to help the Harrison District schools improve and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 80906 zip code area.
