SOAR at Green Valley Ranch

Summary:

SOAR at Green Valley Ranch is a public charter elementary school serving 483 students in grades K-5 in Denver, Colorado, which is part of the School District No. 1. The school has a high percentage of minority students, with 59.42% Hispanic, 24.02% African American, and 4.97% Asian students.

Despite being part of the district, SOAR at Green Valley Ranch consistently ranks in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students perform significantly below the district and state averages in CMAS assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.5% of SOAR students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.7% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The school's performance is particularly poor for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Colorado elementary schools for these groups. However, the school performs relatively well for its African American student subgroup, ranking in the top 5 out of 18-20 Colorado elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, SOAR at Green Valley Ranch performs significantly worse on academic measures. For example, in 2023-2024, SOAR's ELA proficiency rate of 29.5% was much lower than the 23.7% at Green Valley Elementary and the 26.2% at Highline Academy Northeast. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rate, and its relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its overall academic underperformance.

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.
