Normandy Elementary School is a public elementary school in Littleton, Colorado, serving 263 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with a lower student-teacher ratio and fewer students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.

Normandy Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 67.3% of students proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts and 57.5% proficient in CMAS/Math, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is lower than nearby Stony Creek Elementary School (15.8) and Coronado Elementary School (17.7), which may contribute to its academic success.

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.

Open Quote Normandy has been steadily declining ever since the current principal came 6 years ago. Why hasn't anyone noticed this? She has destroyed the entire moral, attitude and ' kids excited to learn' feeling at the school. It is commanly referred to as a penitentary. This is sad, because it was once a fun,exciting center for learning. - A Parent. Close Quote

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.
