While Campbell Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (27.85%) compared to the state average of 34.1%, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, only 28.5% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.1%, and only 20.6% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.2%. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 405 out of 935 Colorado elementary schools in 2010-2011 to being ranked 751 out of 943 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Caliche Elementary School, Campbell Elementary performs similarly or slightly better in terms of academic achievement, but still lags behind the state averages. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (60% in 2022-2023) indicates that Campbell Elementary serves a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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.
