Cedaredge Elementary School

Summary:

Cedaredge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Cedaredge, Colorado, with a student population of 352. The school is part of the Delta County Joint District No. 50, which is ranked 42 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Cedaredge Elementary School has a predominantly White student population (75.28%), it faces several challenges. The school's student performance on CMAS tests is generally below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.9%) and Math (41.4%) lower than the district (46% and 31%, respectively) and state (44.1% and 34.2%, respectively) averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Compared to other schools in the district, such as Paonia K-8, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (64.7%) and Math (53.3%), Cedaredge Elementary School's performance is lagging.

However, the school's strong performance among its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 45 out of 203 Colorado elementary schools in 2021-2022, suggests that it may have the potential to improve overall if the right strategies and resources are implemented. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 397 out of 965 Colorado elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 452 out of 943 in 2023-2024, indicates that the school is facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance, which will be important for the school to address in the coming years.

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.
