Stober Elementary School

Summary:

Stober Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lakewood, Colorado, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.

One key differentiator is Stober's student population, which has a significantly higher percentage of White students (75.64%) compared to nearby schools like Eiber Elementary (21.62% White) and Slater Elementary (30.58% White). Despite this, Stober's students, including its female, male, and White student groups, consistently rank in the top half of Colorado elementary schools. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.7 to 15.4 over the past three years.

Stober's academic excellence is particularly noteworthy given the socioeconomic factors at play. The school has a lower percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients (22.18% to 29.03%) compared to nearby schools, which have much higher percentages (44.36% to 88.42%). This suggests that Stober serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its strong performance. However, the stark contrast between Stober and some of the nearby schools highlights the need to address educational disparities within the district and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.

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.
