Summary:

Addenbrooke Classical Academy has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 9.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in CMAS/Science, compared to 34.1% in the district and 24.8% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has also declined, from a high of 90 out of 210 Colorado high schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 214 out of 349 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 120 out of 205 Colorado high schools in 2021-2022.

Addenbrooke Classical Academy's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School, which consistently ranks among the top schools in Colorado. However, Addenbrooke has a more diverse student population compared to D'Evelyn, which has a higher percentage of White and Asian students. The school also does not provide data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, making it difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic context of the student population.

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.
