Neighborhood

While it is only 11 short miles from Downtown Denver, Greater Thornton feels like a suburban retreat with picturesque views of the mountains in the west. Thornton apartments are popular for those who want to live close to Denver, but also want that rugged Colorado terrain that provides so many outdoor activities, from camping and hiking to mountain biking and bird-watching.

There are plenty of highly-rated schools at every level in Greater Thornton, the more rural and suburban area that surrounds the heart of the city, making this an ideal place for families with children. Stunning views and unparalleled natural beauty make this part of Thornton popular with nature lovers as well, but all residents will get to enjoy the beauty of the Rockies.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
