Edith Teter Elementary School

Summary:

Edith Teter Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fairplay, Colorado, serving 211 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Park County School District No. Re-2. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, currently placing 575th out of 933 Colorado elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edith Teter Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (81.04%) compared to nearby schools like Upper Blue Elementary School (55.7%) and Lake County Intermediate School (39.69%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally lower than state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.9%), Math (22.9%), and 5th-grade Science (16.7%) falling below state benchmarks. Additionally, Edith Teter has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (39.34%), higher than the 7% at Breckenridge Elementary School.

These factors, combined with Edith Teter's higher student-teacher ratio of 15.6 compared to nearby schools, suggest the need for targeted interventions and resources to address issues of equity, inclusion, and academic performance. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past decade indicates that it may be falling behind the overall improvements in Colorado's education system, and the school community may benefit from a closer examination of its curriculum, teaching methods, and support systems to better serve its students.

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.
