Eagleside Elementary School

Summary:

Eagleside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fountain, Colorado, serving 365 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fountain School District No. 8, which is ranked 85 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eagleside has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more diverse than nearby Jordahl Elementary and Aragon Elementary. Academically, Eagleside's performance on CMAS tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. The school ranks highly for Hispanic students but lower for White students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating potential achievement gaps.

Eagleside's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 253rd out of 914 Colorado elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 514th out of 933 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to others in the state. Interestingly, nearby schools in the School District No. 3, such as Martin Luther King Junior Elementary, tend to outperform Eagleside on academic measures. Additionally, Eagleside has seen a decline in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating its student population may be becoming less economically disadvantaged over time.

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.
