Lumberg Elementary School

Summary:

Lumberg Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edgewater, Colorado, serving 318 students in grades PK-6. The school stands out from its nearby counterparts due to its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (76.42%) and exceptionally high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.32% to 89.31% over the past three school years.

Academically, Lumberg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates on the CMAS assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.7% of Lumberg students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51.8% for the Jefferson County School District No. R-1 and 44.1% for the state.

In contrast, the surrounding schools, such as Colfax Elementary School, Cowell Elementary School, and Edison Elementary School, generally have higher academic achievement, lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and more favorable student-teacher ratios compared to Lumberg Elementary. These factors suggest that Lumberg Elementary may face unique challenges and require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
