Woodmen Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Woodmen Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Falcon, Colorado, serving 609 students in grades PK-5 and part of the El Paso County Colorado School District 49. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

Woodmen Hills Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (61.41%) than the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school outperforms the district and state averages on CMAS tests, with 52.8% of 5th graders and 51.3% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47.3% and 42% state averages, respectively. Additionally, Woodmen Hills has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (23.65%) and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4, both of which are better than nearby schools like Ridgeview Elementary and Falcon Elementary School of Technology.

While Woodmen Hills maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's performance data reveals a racial disparity, with its White student subgroup performing relatively lower compared to its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students. To address this, the school could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions. Overall, Woodmen Hills Elementary is a solid-performing school, but it lags behind some of the higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Pikes Peak School Expeditionary Learning and Rocky Mountain Classical Academy.

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.
