Summary

East Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Littleton, Colorado, serving 184 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Littleton School District No. 6, which is ranked 11th out of 115 districts in Colorado and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (50%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 7.49% to 18.11% Hispanic students. Additionally, East Elementary has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.63%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 8.14% to 23.85%. This suggests that East Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged and diverse population. However, the academic performance of East Elementary, as measured by CMAS test scores, is significantly lower than the surrounding schools across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 26.4% of East Elementary students were proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 47.2% to 54.6% at the nearby schools like Hopkins Elementary School, Clayton Elementary School, and Runyon Elementary School.

The clear differences in academic performance and student demographics between East Elementary and the surrounding schools present an opportunity for the Littleton School District No. 6 to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of East Elementary's student population. While East Elementary's performance is lower than the nearby schools, it is also lower than the district and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, suggesting that the challenges faced by East Elementary may be more systemic and require a comprehensive approach to address.
