Evans Elementary School

Summary:

Evans Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 520 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the El Paso County Colorado School District 49, which is ranked 44 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (36.15%) and two or more races (15.38%) students, Evans Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past few years. The school's proficiency rates in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with a 2023-2024 CMAS/Math proficiency rate of 24.2% compared to the district's 32% and the state's 34.2%. Additionally, Rocky Mountain Classical Academy and Remington Elementary, two nearby schools, generally outperform Evans Elementary on academic measures.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Evans Elementary, ranging from 46.4% in 2020-2021 to 59.81% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to its underperformance. The school's consistent underperformance and the potential for improvement by learning from the strategies and practices of higher-performing nearby schools indicate that Evans Elementary may need to implement more targeted and effective strategies to support student learning and 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.
