Audubon Elementary School

Summary:

Audubon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 296 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Colorado Springs School District No. 11, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Audubon Elementary School faces several challenges, including a higher percentage of White students (52.36%) compared to the surrounding schools, lower academic performance on CMAS tests compared to district and state averages, and significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with its ranking declining from 488th out of 965 schools in 2018-2019 to 565th out of 943 schools in 2023-2024. This decline in academic performance is concerning, and the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (65.54% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) likely contributes to these challenges.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Audubon Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower CMAS test scores and rankings. However, some nearby schools, such as Steele Elementary and Stratton Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their successful practices and implement targeted interventions to address the disparities at Audubon Elementary School.

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.
