Summary

Emory Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lakewood, Colorado, serving 385 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 115 districts in the state.

Emory Elementary stands out in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (81.04%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 25.54% to 72.24% Hispanic. Academically, Emory consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools, with only 11.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 2.9% proficient or better in Math - far below the district and state averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.38% to 86.49% over the past three years, much higher than nearby schools. However, Emory does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 13.6 over the past three years.

The data suggests that Emory Elementary is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. The school's consistently low academic performance, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and stark contrast to surrounding schools like Denison Montessori School, Force Elementary School, and Lasley Elementary School warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the root causes of these issues.
