College View Elementary School

Summary:

College View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Denver, Colorado, serving around 290 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of School District No. 1, which is ranked 78 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

College View Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.14%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 59.97% to 94.95% Hispanic students. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 800-914 out of 921-943 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While College View Elementary School performs poorly compared to the state and district averages, it is not the lowest-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Schools like Schmitt Elementary and Johnson Elementary have even lower academic performance and rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's low ranking suggest that socioeconomic factors may be significantly impacting the academic achievement of College View Elementary School's students, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the school community.

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.
