Summary:
The city of Silverthorne, Colorado is home to a single school, Silverthorne Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as CMAS, is consistently below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, indicating that it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its diverse student population.
Silverthorne Elementary School has a student body that is 38.3% White and 56.43% Hispanic, with smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school also has a high percentage of students (53.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can have a significant impact on educational outcomes.
While Silverthorne Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which is lower than the national average, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is consistently below the Summit School District No. Re 1 and state averages. This suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve its academic performance, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics, and to address the needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.
