Bauder Elementary School

Summary:

Bauder Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Collins, Colorado, serving 495 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Poudre School District R-1. While the school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Bauder's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.7%) and Math (44.2%) are significantly below the Poudre School District (59.3% and 50.1%) and Colorado state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages. The school's performance also varies by student subgroup, with male students and White students outperforming their female and Hispanic peers, respectively. Additionally, Bauder's low-income students perform below the state average for that subgroup.

While Bauder has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school consistently ranks in the middle of Colorado elementary schools, typically between the 343rd and 430th position out of around 900-960 schools. Nearby schools in the Poudre School District, such as Johnson Elementary, O'Dea Elementary, and Dunn Elementary, generally outperform Bauder on academic measures, suggesting that the school may benefit from learning best practices and strategies from its higher-performing counterparts within the district.

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.
