Cherry Hills Village Elementary School

Summary:

Cherry Hills Village Elementary School is a highly-rated public elementary school serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the affluent community of Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. With consistently strong academic performance and a low student-teacher ratio, this school is a standout in the Cherry Creek School District.

Cherry Hills Village Elementary School is a top-performing school, with students significantly outpacing state and district averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, 71.8% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.3% for the Cherry Creek School District and 44.1% for Colorado. In math, 70.1% of students were proficient, versus 40.8% for the district and 34.2% for the state. The school also has a relatively diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Asian students than the surrounding area, though the majority of students are white. Additionally, the school serves a low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with only around 5% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly lower than nearby schools.

While Cherry Hills Village Elementary School is a standout performer, there are some areas for potential improvement. The school's Gifted and Talented program lags behind other top-performing schools in the state, suggesting a need to better support and challenge high-achieving students. Additionally, the school's demographics indicate that it may not be fully representative of the broader community, with a student population that is less diverse and less economically disadvantaged than nearby schools like Greenwood Elementary School and University Park Elementary School. Overall, Cherry Hills Village Elementary School is a high-quality institution, but there may be opportunities to further address the needs of all students and ensure equitable access to the school's excellent resources and educational opportunities.

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.
