Gateway Elementary School

Summary:

Gateway Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Woodland Park, Colorado, with 293 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school is part of the Woodland Park School District No. Re-2, which is ranked 18 out of 116 school districts in Colorado, Gateway Elementary faces several challenges that set it apart from its peers.

Academically, Gateway Elementary lags behind both the district and state averages on CMAS test scores, with only 35.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 28.8% in math, compared to 52.6% and 39.3% for the district, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 422 and 590 out of around 900-965 elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 1 to 3 stars. Additionally, Gateway has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 22.26% in 2021-2022 to 35.49% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, Gateway Elementary's performance is even more concerning. For example, Foothills Elementary and Chipeta Elementary, which are part of the higher-ranked Academy School District No. 20, significantly outperform Gateway on CMAS tests. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 15.4, compared to 10.5 at Summit Elementary and 13.1 at Columbine Elementary, may also be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Gateway Elementary.

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.
