Timberline Pk-8

Summary:

Timberline Pk-8 is an elementary and middle school located in Longmont, Colorado, serving grades PK-8 and part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 33 out of 116 school districts in Colorado. With a student population of 791, Timberline Pk-8 has a predominantly Hispanic student body (84.96% in 2022-2023) and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (79.77% receiving free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, Timberline Pk-8 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools, with proficiency rates in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16.4% of Timberline Pk-8 students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.3% for the district and 44.1% for the state. This stark contrast is particularly evident when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Fall River Elementary (64.2% proficient) and Central Elementary (72.2% proficient).

The low academic performance of Timberline Pk-8 may be influenced by the high percentage of Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who often face additional challenges and barriers to academic success. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Timberline Pk-8 suggests that class size may not be a primary driver of the school's performance, and other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be more influential. The data indicates that Timberline Pk-8 could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic needs of its diverse student population, as well as exploring best practices from the higher-performing nearby schools.

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 This is an absolutely terrible school. The staff and teachers care absolutely nothing about your children or their education. Most of the teachers are there for a paycheck and that's it. There are a few good teachers but the bad far outweighs the good. They will actively work to keep your children dumbed down. As a parent i was absolutely disgusted with the way my children were treated. After transferring my children to a different school, there was an immediate difference. Do yourself a favor and keep your children far away from this school. Close Quote

Open Quote I am not a parent but I did have a great conversation with the principal. She told me about how hard her job is. Before she left, i was saddended at the way she feels about her job and the amount of pressure she feels. Especially those that don’t speak English. 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.
