Summary

Beattie Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Collins, Colorado, serving 309 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Poudre School District R-1. The school consistently outperforms the state average on CMAS tests in Science, English Language Arts, and Math, with particularly strong results in 5th-grade Science and 3rd-grade English Language Arts.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.05% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Beattie's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 71st out of 365 Colorado elementary schools in this subgroup. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is lower than the district average, which may contribute to its academic success. However, Beattie has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 34.2% over the past three school years, which is a concern that could impact student learning.

Compared to nearby schools in the Poudre School District, such as Johnson Elementary, Bennett Elementary, and O'Dea Elementary, Beattie's test scores and overall performance are generally on par or slightly below. However, Beattie's performance is significantly higher than the nearby Axis International Academy, a public charter school outside the Poudre School District.
