Weber Elementary School

Summary:

Weber Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Arvada, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 234. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Weber Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (71.37%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 47.58% to 82.92% White students, it also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (20.09%). However, the school's performance on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 40% of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts and 37.6% in CMAS Math, compared to the district averages of 51.8% and 40.7%, respectively. Additionally, Weber Elementary's performance varies significantly by student group, with male students outperforming female students and White students and low socioeconomic status students performing below average compared to their peers in the district.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Sierra Elementary, Excel Academy Charter, and Warder Elementary, generally outperform Weber Elementary on CMAS tests and have higher overall SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that Weber Elementary may be struggling compared to its peers in the district. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Weber Elementary, coupled with the lower performance of low socioeconomic status students, indicates that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's overall 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.
