For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Glacier Peak's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41%) and Math (26.7%) for all grades were below the district (41.4% and 33.3%) and state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages. Additionally, Glacier Peak's rankings among Colorado elementary schools for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, are generally in the bottom half of the state, with many rankings in the 1-2 star range. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.91% to 40.38% over the past three school years.
Compared to nearby schools, such as Belle Creek Charter School, Woodglen Elementary School, and Eagleview Elementary School, Glacier Peak generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. However, the school's performance is stronger for its Hispanic student population, ranking in the top half of the state in this category. These findings suggest that Glacier Peak Elementary School faces several challenges, including declining statewide rankings, inconsistent academic performance, and lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, which may be influenced by socioeconomic factors.
