Best Public Schools in Zip Code 80911

Summary:

The 15 schools in zip code 80911 serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of traditional public schools and a charter school. The schools are part of School District No. 3, which is ranked 59 out of 116 districts in Colorado and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the area are Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools with its high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, and Widefield Elementary School of the Arts, which also performs well with its 3-star rating and strong academic results. At the middle school level, Sproul Junior High School outperforms the other middle school in the area. The Haven School, an alternative school, stands out for its students' above-average SAT scores.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in school performance, with some schools like Pinello Elementary and James Madison Charter Academy struggling with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. This suggests that factors beyond just the district-level metrics, such as socioeconomic status and specialized programs, may be influencing student outcomes in the area.
