Edwards Elementary School

Summary:

Edwards Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 292 students in grades K-5 in the Eagle County School District in Colorado. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (73.29%) and a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 39.13% to 62.75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years.

Despite its resources, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Edwards Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 18.8% in math, and 19.1% in science. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a ranking of 643 out of 943 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school struggles to support certain student subgroups, such as female and Hispanic students, who perform significantly worse than their peers at other schools in the district.

When compared to nearby schools like Brush Creek Elementary and Eagle County Charter Academy, both within the same district, Edwards Elementary generally underperforms in academic proficiency and statewide rankings. These neighboring schools also have significantly lower percentages of students from low-income families, which may contribute to their higher academic achievement.

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.
