Summary:
The 80222 zip code area in Colorado is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 alternative school, spanning across 3 different school districts. While the schools in this area vary in their academic performance and student demographics, a few standout institutions emerge based on the data analysis.
Bradley International School consistently ranks among the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools, outperforming the School District No. 1 and state averages in CMAS test scores. In contrast, Holly Hills Elementary School and Ellis Elementary School struggle with significantly lower test scores and higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. The public charter schools, Highline Academy Southeast and Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning, stand out for their strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, and their low student-teacher ratios.
The data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, suggesting that factors beyond just the school district may be contributing to these differences. The relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance is also evident, with the schools serving a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients generally underperforming. Additionally, the schools with more balanced racial compositions appear to perform better, indicating that diversity may be a contributing factor to student success. These insights can inform decision-making and resource allocation to address the disparities and support the success of all students in the 80222 zip code area.
