Rose Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Rose Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Commerce City, Colorado, serving 311 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of School District N. 14, which is ranked 115 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rose Hill Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population, ranging from 84-89% over the past 3 years, compared to more diverse racial mixes at other local schools. Academically, Rose Hill students perform well below state and district averages on CMAS assessments, with only 14.8% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7.8% in Math in 2022-2023, far below the state averages. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools for over a decade. Additionally, Rose Hill has an extremely high percentage of students, 72-80%, qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Rose Hill Elementary does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively. The stark contrast in academic performance between Rose Hill and other schools in School District N. 14, such as Alsup Elementary and Kemp Elementary, suggests that there may be systemic issues within the district that need to be addressed. Addressing the challenges at Rose Hill Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach targeting both school-level and district-level factors.

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.
