Summary

Axis International Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Fort Collins, Colorado, with 261 students. The school is part of the State Charter School Institute district, which is ranked 50 out of 115 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 4 school years, Axis International Academy has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Axis International Academy stands out for its exceptional academic performance, significantly outperforming the State Charter School Institute district and the state of Colorado in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 69.9% of Axis students were proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 28.6% for the district and 35.9% for the state. The school also maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 13.9, which can contribute to more personalized attention for students. However, Axis International Academy has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 24.3% to 27.7% over the past 3 school years, an area the school could focus on improving.

When compared to the nearby Poudre School District public schools, Axis International Academy outperforms them in test scores, particularly in Math and Science. For example, in 5th grade Science, Axis had 61.1% proficiency compared to 30.2% for the district and 39% for the state. The nearby Fort Collins Montessori School, another public charter school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, with 67.8% proficiency in 2024-2025, suggesting that the charter school model and specialized educational approaches can be effective in improving student outcomes.
