Summary

Elkhart Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Colorado, serving 496 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28, which is ranked 103 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elkhart Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school performs particularly poorly for its female, male, and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Colorado elementary schools. Elkhart Elementary also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.3% to 40.1% over the past three school years. Proficiency rates on the CMAS assessments are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 20% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math and 16.1% to 28.4% proficient in CMAS English Language Arts.

While the nearby Global Village Academy Aurora, Edna and John W. Mosley P-8, and Academy of Advanced Learning generally perform better than Elkhart Elementary on academic measures, these schools also serve high-needs populations with free/reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 77.59% to 83.83%. The combination of Elkhart's high-needs student population, low district and school rankings, and poor academic outcomes suggests the school may face significant challenges in terms of resources, staffing, and support for students and families.
