Coronado Elementary School

Summary:

Coronado Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Littleton, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 397. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coronado Elementary consistently outperforms the Jefferson County School District and the state of Colorado in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts, CMAS/Math, and CMAS/Science. However, the school has a higher percentage of white students (79.6%) compared to nearby schools like Leawood Elementary (73.55%) and Blue Heron Elementary (57.18%), and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (16.37%) compared to schools like Columbine Hills Elementary (35.79%), Mortensen Elementary (34.65%), and Dutch Creek Elementary (39.8%).

While Coronado Elementary maintains a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's Gifted and Talented program ranks lower compared to other Colorado elementary schools, and there are some differences in performance between male and female students, as well as potential achievement gaps between white students and other racial/ethnic groups. These insights suggest areas for potential improvement, such as addressing achievement gaps and enhancing support for high-achieving students.

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 The academic program for Kindergartners is so impressive! The teachers do an amazing job and pay attention to details with each kid. I can not believe how fast my son learned how to read and write full sentences...in just the first semester! I love Coronado! Close Quote

Open Quote My 6 year old daughter loved school and learning new things. Now, she never wants to go back to kindergarden and never ever wants to go back to school. I do not recommend this school. 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.
