Summary:
Larkspur, Colorado is home to a single public elementary school, Larkspur Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and has an enrollment of 205 students. The school has consistently high academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the Douglas County School District and state of Colorado averages in several subject areas, including science, English language arts, and math.
Larkspur Elementary School's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 82.93% of students identifying as White. This lack of diversity is not representative of the broader racial and ethnic makeup of Colorado. The school also has a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (8.78%), suggesting an affluent student population and potential resource advantages, such as smaller class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 14.4.
While Larkspur Elementary School is a high-performing institution, there are still areas where its proficiency rates lag behind the district and state averages, such as in 3rd and 4th grade math. Identifying and addressing these gaps could help the school continue to improve and provide an even stronger educational experience for all students.
