Stukey Elementary School

Summary:

Stukey Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Northglenn, Colorado, serving 329 students as part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. Despite a diverse student population, the school consistently underperforms academically compared to district and state averages, ranking in the bottom 17% of Colorado elementary schools.

Stukey Elementary's academic struggles are evident across all grade levels and subject areas. On the latest CMAS assessments, only 25% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.4% for the district and 44.1% for the state. In math, a mere 17.5% of Stukey students were proficient, far below the district (33.3%) and state (34.2%) averages. This pattern of underperformance has earned the school a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Interestingly, Stukey's Hispanic students perform better than the overall student population, but still lag behind their peers at nearby schools like Woodglen Elementary and Malley Drive Elementary.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Stukey Elementary, ranging from 75.78% to 81.41% over the past three years, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's challenges. Research suggests that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to support the needs of Stukey Elementary and its students.

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.
