Aspen Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-4
Summary

Aspen Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aspen, Colorado, serving 440 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Aspen School District No. 1, which is ranked 17th out of 116 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Aspen Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.77%) compared to the state average. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 13.7 over the past three years. While Aspen Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping to 346th out of 943 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school may be facing increasing competition from other high-performing schools, including the nearby Aspen Community Charter School, which has even stronger academic performance.

Compared to the neighboring Basalt Elementary School in the Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1, Aspen Elementary School has significantly stronger academic performance and a lower percentage of Hispanic students. However, the lack of racial diversity at Aspen Elementary may indicate challenges in serving the needs of a more diverse student population.
