Bergen Valley Intermediate School

Summary:

Bergen Valley Intermediate School is a high-performing public elementary school in Evergreen, Colorado, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 243. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Bergen Valley Intermediate School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Colorado, ranking 50th out of 943 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly higher than the district and state averages across various CMAS assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. It also performs exceptionally well across different student subgroups, ranking 34th out of 684 Colorado elementary schools for female students and 37th out of 539 schools for White students. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.52% to 9.88% over the past three school years, and a student-teacher ratio of around 16-17 students per teacher, which is lower than the district and state averages.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Jefferson County School District, Bergen Valley Intermediate School generally outperforms its peers on academic measures, such as CMAS proficiency rates and statewide rankings. However, the school's predominantly White student population and low free/reduced lunch rate indicate that it serves a relatively affluent and homogeneous community, raising questions about the school's ability to address the needs of more diverse student populations and ensure equitable educational opportunities. While the school's overall performance is exceptional, there may be opportunities to further enhance the educational experience, such as addressing the relatively low performance of Gifted and Talented students compared to other subgroups or exploring ways to better support students from more diverse backgrounds.

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.
