Summary

Aspen Crossing Elementary School is a public elementary school in Centennial, Colorado, serving 607 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5. The school has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade, with particular strengths in science and math performance.

Aspen Crossing's academic performance on CMAS tests is generally above the district and state averages, with 49.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in science compared to 44% for the district and 39% for the state. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the averages and others below. The school's African American and Hispanic students consistently perform well, often ranking in the top 20% of Colorado elementary schools in these subgroups, while the Asian and White student subgroups tend to perform below the state average.

One area of concern is Aspen Crossing's rising chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 15.1% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024. This trend could negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Compared to nearby schools in the Cherry Creek district, Aspen Crossing generally outperforms its counterparts, such as Meadow Point Elementary and Sunrise Elementary, but trails schools like Rolling Hills Elementary and Peakview Elementary in some areas.
