Bromwell Elementary School

Summary:

Bromwell Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Denver, Colorado, serving 313 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement and a diverse student population.

Bromwell Elementary's academic performance is significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (69.3%) and Math (66.9%) were over 25 percentage points higher than the district and state. The school's 5th-grade students also outperformed the district and state in Science, with a proficiency rate of 68.3% compared to 32.7% for the district and 37.9% for the state. This consistent academic excellence suggests that Bromwell is providing a high-quality education to its students.

While Bromwell Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White students (63.58%) compared to nearby schools, the school has seen a shift in recent years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic and multi-racial students. Additionally, Bromwell has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 11.67% to 15.34% over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the nearby Dora Moore ECE-8 School (61.71%). This socioeconomic diversity within the district may contribute to the academic disparities observed between Bromwell and some of the other schools.

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.

Open Quote Bromwell has fantastic teachers and support staff that have helped my children transition during difficult learning periods. Bromwell has amazing office staff that know your children and their schedules better than the parents and are an extension of your care while your kids are out of reach.

The principal is another story. Principal Hodges abused his power to shut down my voice multiple times. I helped create a petition to save the eagle which got a majority of student signatures. He then “verified” signatures by having face to face conversations with the younger grades (k-2) to decrease our majority to a minority so that he could further his agenda of a new mascot. When I said I would peacefully protest at the assembly, he threatened to have me removed by force. One hundred and sixty one student voices were silenced, heads hung, tears fell, and he was rewarded from his dictatorial tactics. Close Quote

Open Quote Bromwell is not the premier top 5 elementary school it once was. Most of the problems can be attributed to the poor leadership and management skills of the current principal. There is high teacher turnover, a divided parental community, behavioral problems, and many unhappy students with dissatisfied parents. Steck, Cory, Steele are better choices for parents looking for a high quality public elementary school. It's a shame because Bromwell once was at the top of the list and the neighborhood kids deserve better that what is currently offered. It's time for DPS to rectify their mistake and hire a new principal. The one bright spot is 4th grade with the two remaining star teachers. Close Quote

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.
