Summary:
The Estes Park K-5 School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Estes Park School District R-3 in Colorado. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating its overall academic performance is below state averages.
While the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 42.7% was higher than the state average of 39%, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for all grades tested were below the state averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% in the 2023-2024 school year was significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the data suggests that the Estes Park K-5 School is a low-performing elementary school within its district, struggling to improve its academic outcomes across multiple subject areas. While the school shows a relative strength in 5th-grade science, its consistently low rankings, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students indicate significant challenges that the school and district will need to address to improve student learning and achievement.
