Field Elementary School

Summary:

Field Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Littleton, Colorado, serving 273 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Littleton School District No. 6, which is ranked 9th out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Field Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (61.54%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 7.13% to 30.27% Hispanic, the school consistently underperforms academically. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.7% of Field Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.1% in the Littleton School District and 44.1% statewide. This underperformance is evident across all grade levels and subject areas, with Field Elementary consistently ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Field Elementary, ranging from 55.48% to 74.73% over the past three school years, suggests that the school may be serving a lower-income community, which could contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. In comparison, the surrounding schools, particularly Sandburg Elementary and Runyon Elementary, both in the Littleton School District, have significantly higher proficiency rates in CMAS tests compared to Field Elementary.

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.
