Glenwood Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Glenwood Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 437 students in grades PK-5 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, which is part of the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, particularly for its large Hispanic student population and students from low-income families.

Glenwood Springs Elementary has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (70.25%) compared to the state average, and its proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts (28.7%) and Math (19.9%) are well below the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 483 out of 914 Colorado elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 731 out of 943 in 2023-2024, and it has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is especially low for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 5% of Colorado elementary schools for these subgroups.

In comparison, nearby schools like Carbondale Community Charter School and Sopris Elementary School, which are also part of the Roaring Fork School District, outperform Glenwood Springs Elementary in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. To address these challenges, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support for its Hispanic students and students from low-income families, as well as analyze its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement.

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.
