Summary:
The Custer County Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Custer County School District Consolidate 1 in Colorado. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has faced challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Science, English Language Arts, and Math generally below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be contributing to its lower academic outcomes.
Custer County Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 481 and 715 out of around 950 Colorado elementary schools over the past few years, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's declining performance, with its ranking dropping from 533 out of 933 Colorado elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 715 out of 943 in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and support student success.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.53% in 2023-2024, indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. To improve the school's standing, the district and school leadership may need to focus on addressing the chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted interventions to improve student learning and outcomes in core academic areas.
