Public Grades

Summary

Witt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Westminster, Colorado, serving 239 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Witt Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (69.46%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were around 10-20 percentage points below the district and state averages. Witt Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, placing it below most of the nearby schools, such as Excel Academy Charter School, Sheridan Green Elementary, and Ryan Elementary, which have higher rankings and ratings.

Witt Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students (around 33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to some of the nearby schools. This may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. Witt Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students and White students, is particularly low, with rankings in the bottom 25% of Colorado elementary schools for these groups. Despite these challenges, Witt Elementary's performance has been relatively consistent over the past several years, with little improvement in its statewide ranking or academic proficiency rates, suggesting that the school may face systemic issues that need to be addressed.

Where is the STEM? Where is the PTO? Inactive and ineffective! Close Quote

Want an education free from staff bullying, tattle tailing, excessive punishments, unfairness, illogical and irrational conflict resolution? Looking for a safe place your kids wont be yelled at to the point of tears, a place where your kids can explore something other than standardized testing? looking for open communication and respect with staff? THEN KEEP LOOKING! Worst school ever. Good luck getting productive adults out of place. Close Quote
