Remington Elementary School

Summary:

Remington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 596 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the El Paso County Colorado School District 49, which is ranked 44 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Remington Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (28.86%) and multi-racial (14.77%) students compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school outperforms the district and state averages in several key areas, including CMAS English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. Notably, Remington's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% and top 5% of Colorado elementary schools, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.9, lower than the nearby Rocky Mountain Classical Academy charter school and some other public schools in the area.

While Remington Elementary maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. For example, the school's White and male students perform below the state average, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps. Remington outperforms many nearby schools, including Evans Elementary in the same district and Rudy Elementary in a different district. However, the high-performing Rocky Mountain Classical Academy charter school also serves the local community and may be attracting some of the higher-performing students.

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.
