Summary:
The 80925 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Grand Mountain School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,081 students. The school is part of the School District No. 3, which is ranked 59 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Grand Mountain School has a diverse student population, with a mix of racial backgrounds, including 38.67% White, 13.04% African American, 35.06% Hispanic, and other minority groups. Academically, the school's performance is inconsistent, with some grade levels and subject areas, such as 8th grade science and 7th grade English Language Arts, performing better than the district and state averages, while others, like 5th grade English Language Arts and overall math proficiency, struggle to meet the district and state benchmarks. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (24.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Grand Mountain School has some areas of strength, the data suggests there is room for improvement, particularly in addressing the performance gaps across grade levels and subject areas. The school's higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio of 17.8 may also be a factor contributing to these challenges. By analyzing the root causes of these performance issues and implementing targeted interventions, the school and district can work to support the success of all students and ensure they are prepared for future academic and personal growth.
