Homestake Peak School

Summary:

Homestake Peak School is an elementary and middle school located in Avon, Colorado, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 500 students. The school is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 54 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Homestake Peak School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (67%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 8.86% to 89.86% Hispanic students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, lower than the nearby Eagle County Charter Academy and Brush Creek Elementary School, which have higher test scores and statewide rankings.

Homestake Peak School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, particularly for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance on CMAS tests ranks in the bottom quarter of Colorado schools for these subgroups. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that class size may not be a significant factor, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support for its high-needs student population, such as additional resources for English language learners and students from low-income families.

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.
