Public Grades

Summary

Colorow Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Littleton, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 194. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Colorow has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (18.04%) compared to the surrounding schools, it consistently ranks lower than nearby schools like Ute Meadows Elementary, Leawood Elementary, and Normandy Elementary, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Colorow's academic performance, as measured by CMAS proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Colorow has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.88%) compared to the surrounding schools.

The combination of lower academic performance, higher free and reduced lunch rates, and lower student-teacher ratio may indicate that Colorow faces unique challenges in supporting its student population and improving educational outcomes. Understanding these key differences and identifying potential areas for improvement could be valuable in developing targeted strategies to support the school and its students.
