Goldrick Elementary School

Summary:

Goldrick Elementary School is a public elementary school in Denver, Colorado, serving 326 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the School District No. 1, which is ranked 78 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goldrick Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.66%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 68.75% to 91.52% Hispanic. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 2-star rating, lower than the mix of 0, 1, and 2-star ratings of nearby schools. Goldrick students perform significantly below district and state averages in CMAS assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with only 28.4% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.7% for the district and 44.1% for the state. Additionally, Goldrick has a very high percentage of students (over 89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the challenges faced by Goldrick Elementary, the data suggests that there are areas where the school could potentially improve, such as increasing proficiency rates in ELA and Math, particularly in the lower grades. Addressing the needs of the school's predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, as well as providing additional support and resources for teachers, could help Goldrick make progress and better serve its community. Nearby schools, such as Godsman Elementary School and Rocky Mountain Prep Southwest, which serve similar demographics but outperform Goldrick, may provide valuable insights and strategies that could be applied to help improve student outcomes at Goldrick Elementary.

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.
