Little Raven Elementary School

Summary:

Little Raven Elementary School is a public elementary school in Littleton, Colorado, serving around 260 students in grades K-5 and part of the highly-ranked Littleton School District No. 6. While the school has a higher percentage of white and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, it faces challenges with lower academic performance, a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and notable achievement gaps between different student subgroups.

Academically, Little Raven's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.1%) and Math (38.5%) for all grades are below the Littleton School District and Colorado state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped from 197th out of 710 Colorado elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 332nd out of 933 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in performance relative to other schools. Additionally, the school's data reveals notable differences in the rankings of female and male students, as well as achievement gaps between white students and students of color.

When compared to the nearby schools in the Littleton School District, Little Raven generally performs worse academically, with the exception of Field Elementary School, which also struggles academically and has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The two charter schools in the area, Littleton Academy and Littleton Prep Charter School, generally outperform Little Raven and the other traditional public schools in the district, particularly in English Language Arts.

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.
