Northeast Elementary School

Summary:

Northeast Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brighton, Colorado, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 499. The school is part of the School District 27J, which is ranked 82 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northeast Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, racial and socioeconomic disparities, and overall school quality. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 20-25% of Colorado elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking, and its performance on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, Northeast Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (77.15%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 40-69% Hispanic students, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.91% to 64.13% over the past few years, much higher than the surrounding Weld County School District Re-3j, which ranges from 25-55%.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 16.2 over the past few years, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, or school leadership, may be playing a role. The high percentage of Hispanic students at Northeast Elementary, coupled with its low academic performance, suggests that there may be racial and socioeconomic disparities in educational outcomes, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the student population.

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.
