Marshdale Elementary School

Summary:

Marshdale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Evergreen, Colorado, serving 336 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic performance and a low student-teacher ratio.

Marshdale Elementary stands out for its consistently high CMAS test scores, which significantly exceed the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade students scored 65.2% proficient or better in CMAS Science, compared to 46.6% for the Jefferson County School District No. R-1 and 37.9% for the state. The school's English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates are also substantially higher than those of nearby schools like Kendallvue Elementary and Bergen Valley Intermediate.

However, Marshdale Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 86.9% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. This lack of racial diversity may be an area of concern, as research suggests that diverse learning environments can provide valuable educational and social benefits for students. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with only 9.45% to 13.39% receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools.

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.
