Colorado Sports Leadership Academy

Summary:

Colorado Sports Leadership Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Westminster Public Schools district in Denver, Colorado, with a student population of 410 that is predominantly Hispanic (87.32%).

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. It significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 14% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 5.1% of 7th graders proficient or better in Math. This is in stark contrast to nearby Colorado STEM Academy, which had 52.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 47.9% in Math. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 79.95% to 85.85% over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to these low test scores.

Compared to other schools in the Westminster Public Schools district and nearby Mapleton School District No. 1, Colorado Sports Leadership Academy is an underperforming outlier, with its academic performance declining over the past three years. This suggests the need for substantial interventions and support to improve student outcomes at the school.

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.
