Elbert Elementary School

Q: Is Elbert Elementary School a good school?

Elbert Elementary School ranks 334 th of 943 Colorado elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Elbert Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elbert, Colorado, serving 141 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Elizabeth School District, which is ranked 49 out of 116 districts in the state.

Elbert Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students outperforming state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency, particularly in 4th grade. However, the school's racial makeup is significantly different from the state, with a much higher percentage of white students (86.52%) and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (11.35%). This racial disparity is reflected in the school's ranking for white students, which is only 454 out of 596 Colorado elementary schools, indicating that the white student population may not be performing as well as expected compared to other schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, Franktown Elementary School in the higher-performing Douglas County School District and Pikes Peak School Expeditionary Learning, a public charter school, both outperform Elbert Elementary in both ELA and math proficiency. Conversely, Running Creek Elementary School in the Elizabeth School District underperforms Elbert Elementary in these areas. These comparisons suggest that Elbert Elementary School has room for improvement, particularly in addressing the racial disparities in student achievement and learning from the practices of higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
