Ponderosa Elementary School

Summary:

Ponderosa Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Colorado, serving 517 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5. Despite being part of a highly-ranked school district, Ponderosa Elementary consistently underperforms academically, with low standardized test scores across all grades and subjects compared to the district and state averages.

Ponderosa Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of African American (24.76%) and Hispanic (37.33%) students, as well as a large proportion (69.44%) of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This diversity is not reflected in the school's academic performance, as Ponderosa ranks in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Nearby schools in the Cherry Creek district, such as Village East Community Elementary and Eastridge Community Elementary, also struggle academically, suggesting that the challenges faced by Ponderosa may be systemic within the district.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14 students per teacher, Ponderosa Elementary's academic performance is particularly concerning for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to these academic challenges, and addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving the school's performance.

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.
