Summary

Douglass Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Usaf Academy, Colorado, serving 327 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Academy School District No. 20, which is ranked 13th out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Douglass Valley Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently performed below the district and state averages on CMAS assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 52.4% in ELA, 50.3% in Math, and 35.3% in Science, compared to the district's 61.1%, 51.9%, and 49.5%, respectively. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its ranking among Colorado elementary schools ranging from 239 to 405. Douglass Valley Elementary School also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.0% to 27.7% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Douglass Valley Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Rockrimmon Elementary, Discovery Canyon Campus Elementary, and Foothills Elementary schools, which consistently outperform Douglass Valley on CMAS assessments and have higher rankings among Colorado elementary schools. These nearby schools also have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and a lower percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, suggesting that Douglass Valley Elementary School serves a more economically disadvantaged population. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning could be crucial for improving the school's outcomes.
