Elementary Schools in Colorado Springs School District No. 11


Summary:

The Colorado Springs School District No. 11 is home to 37 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This diverse district encompasses a range of school performance, with some standout institutions like Chipeta Elementary School and Stratton Elementary School ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while others struggle with lower test scores and higher rates of chronic absenteeism.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic achievement across the district. Chipeta Elementary boasts exceptional test scores, with 75.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 76% in Math. In contrast, Carver Elementary has only 10.3% of 5th graders proficient in science. This performance gap is mirrored in the district's student-teacher ratios, which range from 11.8 students per teacher at Edison Elementary to 20.4 students per teacher at Adams Elementary.

The data also suggests a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. Schools with the highest poverty rates, such as Adams Elementary with an 87.17% free and reduced lunch rate, tend to have the lowest test scores. Addressing these inequities and providing targeted support to the district's underperforming schools should be a top priority for Colorado Springs School District No. 11 leaders.
