John E. Flynn A Marzano Academy

Summary:

John E. Flynn A Marzano Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Westminster, Colorado, with a student population of 337. The school is part of the Westminster Public Schools district, which is ranked 108 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a predominantly Hispanic (68.25%) and economically disadvantaged (73.89% free/reduced lunch) student population, John E. Flynn A Marzano Academy consistently underperforms the state and district averages in CMAS assessments for English Language Arts and Math. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 26.3% in ELA and 19.6% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. The school's Hispanic student subgroup performs better than the overall school, ranking 106 out of 242 Colorado elementary schools in ELA for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.1 to 17.7 over the past three school years, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

Compared to nearby schools in the Westminster Public Schools district, such as Westminster Academy for International Studies, Harris Park Elementary, and Sunset Ridge Pk-8, John E. Flynn A Marzano Academy is one of the lower-performing schools in the area, despite serving a similar student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a ranking between 602 and 898 out of over 900 schools over the past decade, and its SchoolDigger rating has remained low, with 0 to 2 stars out of 5 over the same period.

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.
