The school's impressive test scores, with 83.3% of 8th graders proficient or better in CMAS Science and 77.8% proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts, contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, Eads Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 4-star rating, and strong performance in CMAS English Language Arts and Math.
While the Eads schools generally outperform state and district averages in assessments, they face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with Eads Elementary School having a free/reduced lunch rate of 68.25%. These factors may require the district to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of their students and ensure equitable access to educational opportunities.
