Littleton CO School District Information for Homebuyers
Bryan Messick
Published January 20, 2026
For many homebuyers, school district boundaries are a primary factor in their home search. The city of Littleton is unique because it spans three different counties (Arapahoe, Jefferson, and Douglas) and is served by several distinct school districts depending on the specific neighborhood.
Littleton Public Schools (LPS)
LPS primarily serves the incorporated city limits of Littleton in Arapahoe County, as well as parts of Centennial and Englewood. It is a highly sought-after district known for its strong community support and comprehensive academic programs.
Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco)
Many of the neighborhoods in unincorporated "West Littleton" (ZIP codes 80123, 80127, 80128) are served by Jeffco Public Schools. This includes large communities like Ken Caryl, Columbine, and Dakota Ridge.
Douglas County School District
Neighborhoods further south, such as Roxborough and Sterling Ranch, fall under the Douglas County School District.
Important Note: School boundaries are subject to change and can sometimes split neighborhoods. Always verify the specific schools assigned to a property's address directly with the respective school district before making a purchasing decision based on school assignments.
