Baker Elementary School

Summary:

Baker Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fort Morgan, Colorado, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 293 students. The school is part of the School District No. Re-3 Fort Morgan, which is ranked 110 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baker Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 70%) compared to the nearby schools, such as Pioneer Elementary and Green Acres Elementary, which have a more balanced racial distribution. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) test scores across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates around 19% in English Language Arts and 22.5% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. Additionally, Baker Elementary has a high percentage of students (around 69%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

While Baker Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.8 to 16 over the past few years, this has not translated into improved academic performance. The school's consistent underperformance, coupled with the racial and socioeconomic disparities, suggests that Baker Elementary may face unique challenges that require a more tailored approach to address the needs of its student population. Addressing these issues will be crucial in helping to improve outcomes for the students at Baker Elementary.

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.
