Monaco Elementary School

Summary:

Monaco Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Commerce City, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 237. 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.

Monaco Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student demographics. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools, with a ranking between 775 and 932 out of 935-962 schools over the past 10 years. Only 11.7% of Monaco students were proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to 44.1% statewide and 11.8% in the district. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (81.01%) and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.76% to 87.76% over the past three years. While the nearby schools in the same district also struggle with low performance, some schools, such as Kemp Elementary and Community Leadership Academy, have significantly higher academic achievement on CMAS tests.

The relatively low student-teacher ratio at Monaco Elementary School, ranging from 14.9 to 16.4 over the past three years, could be an asset if the school is able to leverage this resource to provide more individualized attention and support to students. However, the school's consistently low performance indicates that there are likely other systemic issues that need to be addressed. Comparing the school's performance to nearby higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights and opportunities for learning and improvement.

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.
