Alsup Elementary School

Summary:

Alsup Elementary School is a public elementary school in Commerce City, Colorado, serving 463 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the School District No. 14, which is ranked 116 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alsup Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic (83.15%) and economically disadvantaged student population. The school consistently performs below the state and district averages in CMAS assessments, with proficiency rates of just 17.9% in English Language Arts, 13.5% in Math, and 11.5% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.1%, 34.2%, and 37.9%, respectively. Alsup's student subgroups, such as female and male students, also rank in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.73% to 79.73%, indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools, such as Dupont Elementary, Kemp Elementary, and Rose Hill Elementary, also perform below the state averages, Alsup Elementary consistently ranks lower than these schools. This suggests that the school faces unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support from the School District No. 14 and the local community to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
