Summary

Stott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Arvada, Colorado, serving 302 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 29 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stott Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) test scores, with 66% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 52.5% for the district and 44.8% for the state. However, the school faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.9% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024. Stott Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 19.4 students per teacher over the past few years, which is lower than the district average.

When comparing Stott Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, several trends emerge. Sierra Elementary and Meiklejohn Elementary consistently outperform Stott Elementary on CMAS test scores, while schools with higher percentages of students receiving free/reduced-price lunch, such as Fremont Elementary and Vanderhoof Elementary, tend to have lower proficiency rates. The performance of charter schools in the area, such as Excel Academy and Mountain Phoenix Community School, has been mixed.

My child has attended Stott for the past 3 years and is currently completing the 2nd grade. The new principal and staff of teachers and faculty are amazing. From Kindergarten forward, my child has been challenged and has excelled with the guidance of her outstanding teachers. The Kindergarten curriculum was challenging and appropriate for ensuring that students were ready to move on to the next grade. Her first grade teacher was amazing and gave her the confidence and knowledge necessary to become an excellent student for the rest of her education. In second grade, she has been given a great blend of reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and art studies. She loves school and all of her teachers at Stott. Close Quote

In Kindegarten they expect the child to learn: punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure, nouns and verbs....this was too much for my child who was just trying to learn how to read. On top of this he wasn't allowed recess all day because he "wasn't focusing". The teacher and principal were very defensive and did not have problem resolution skills. On top of this my son has been diagnosed with ADHD by his PA, a Phycologyst and Phyciatrist. The constant changing of stations when the bell rings every ten minutes was over whelming for any child. My son barley got logged into the computer in that time. =) Please consider other schools for Kindegarten. The home work load was atrocious....although, I here it lightens up in 1st grade, we didn't stick around to find out! Close Quote
