Summary

Alicia Sanchez International School is an elementary school located in Lafayette, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 320 students. It is part of the Boulder Valley School District, which is ranked 8th out of 115 districts in Colorado and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alicia Sanchez International School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low test scores and statewide rankings compared to both the district and state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Colorado elementary schools, with only 22.5% of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts and 18.4% proficient or better in CMAS Math in 2024-2025, compared to the district averages of 65.6% and 55.1%, respectively. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 75.31% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to its underperformance.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Louisville Elementary School, Meadowlark School, and Aspen Creek K-8 School generally outperform Alicia Sanchez International School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on CMAS tests and lower rates of economically disadvantaged students. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student learning and engagement.

Excellent teachers and great administration. My son is thriving in this school. He likes going and is doing great in math. The energy in this school is really amazing. This school thinks out of the box, which is great to see. Don't let low test scores scare you away, visit the school for yourself and see! Close Quote

We have had numerous problems with this school. The final was that they WITHDREW my student with no paperwork done and signed by myself or the school district. They then took over an hour to call me after I had dropped my student off at school to let me know that they was no longer attending there and that he was sitting with the school counselor... The vice principal and principal and insulting and rude if you call out a teacher for mistreating a student, the teachers are unwilling to work with a student who is new to the district and unfamiliar with their teaching style. Do not send you children to this school, you will be greatly disappointed. Close Quote
