Summary

Ducor Union Elementary is a small, rural K-8 school serving 136 students in a district that ranks in the bottom 5% statewide, though the school itself has recently shown signs of improvement from its historically low academic standing.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are significantly below the state average and notably lower than many nearby schools, such as Columbine Elementary and Santa Fe Elementary, which serve similar student populations. However, Ducor Union Elementary has achieved a remarkable success story in dramatically reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half over four years to a level now better than the state average—a positive trend not seen in all comparable schools.

The school spends more per student than its neighbors, yet these resources have not yet translated into proportional academic gains, and performance varies wildly between grade levels. When compared to a very similar school like Alta Vista Elementary, Ducor performs slightly better academically. The recent improvement in the school's statewide ranking, alongside its attendance victory, suggests it has the capacity to make positive changes that could potentially be applied to its academic challenges in the future.
