Stratton Elementary School

Summary:

Stratton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stratton, Colorado, serving 113 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the School District No. R-4.

Stratton Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (73.45%) compared to the nearby Burlington Elementary School (55.83%), and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (25.66% vs. 42.64%). Academically, Stratton generally performs better than the district and state averages on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests, with 5th-grade students scoring 29.4% proficient or better in both CMAS/Science and CMAS/English Language Arts, compared to the district's 29.4% and the state's 37.9% and 47.3%, respectively. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 282 out of 823 Colorado elementary schools in 2004-2005 to 672 out of 943 in 2023-2024, suggesting its performance may have declined relative to other schools.

Stratton Elementary School also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.44% in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, lower than the nearby Burlington Elementary School (16.3), which may contribute to more personalized attention for students. While Stratton's test scores have fluctuated over the years, the school's unique characteristics and performance compared to nearby schools provide valuable insights for parents considering educational options for their children.

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.
