Summary:

Telluride Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Telluride, Colorado, with a student population of 239 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Telluride School District No. R-1, which is ranked 3rd out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Telluride Intermediate School consistently outperforms the state average in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates of 57.3% in ELA and 44.5% in Math for the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, at 79.5%, which is higher than the state average and differs from the nearby Telluride Elementary School, which has a more diverse student body. Additionally, Telluride Intermediate School has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 17.99% to 21.76% over the past three school years, indicating a higher socioeconomic status among the student population.

One of the notable strengths of Telluride Intermediate School is its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.8 to 12.5 over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the state average and the nearby schools. This suggests a more personalized learning environment for students, which may be a contributing factor to the school's strong academic performance. However, the lack of racial diversity compared to the surrounding area is an area that may warrant further exploration and attention.

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.
