Public Grades

Summary

New Classical Academy at Vivian is an elementary school located in Lakewood, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 162 and is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1.

While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 46.91% White, 26.54% Hispanic, and 6.79% African American students, its academic performance as measured by CMAS test scores is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 24.5% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.8% in the district and 43.7% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.79% to 65.28% over the past three school years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 749 out of 929 Colorado elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 504 out of 933 in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools, such as Maple Grove Elementary School, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (70.1%) and Math (51.6%) in 2022-2023, New Classical Academy at Vivian generally underperforms in academic measures. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 over the past three school years, could be an asset, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.

NCA @ Vivian is the best school! The teachers and principal are amazing and truly put kids first and want all students to succeed. They have core values that they practice and review everyday as well as use the Core Knowledge curriculum which my kids absolutely love! Close Quote

I have worked at several great schools across Jefferson County but New Classical Academy at Vivian stole my heart. This school knows how to love one another and build close community like no other school I have been a part of. The staff at NCA is founded on strong teamwork and are all focused on a common goal- partnering with families and doing whatever it takes to see students flourish into the best versions of themselves. This school values nurturing well round students through rigorous academics and daily modeling of our core values- respect, responsibility, honesty, inclusion, perseverance, and integrity. Any student who attends this school will be known individually, challenged academically, and cared for deeply. Close Quote
