Lasley Elementary faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.6% of Lasley students were proficient or better in math, compared to 40.7% for the district and 34.2% for the state.

Schenck (CMS) Community School.

Lasley Elementary's academic challenges are particularly pronounced for its Hispanic students, who make up the majority of the student population. In the 2023-2024 school year, Lasley's Hispanic students ranked 233 out of 242 Colorado elementary schools in English Language Arts, while the school's White students ranked 517 out of 596. Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 students per teacher, Lasley's academic performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement in its statewide ranking or proficiency rates.

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.
