Summary

Encompass Heights Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 583 students within the highly rated Academy School District No. 20. The school has improved steadily over four years, climbing from the 64th to the 75th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating for the past two years.

Math is Encompass's standout subject, with 56.9% of students proficient in 2025–2026—above the district's 54.7% and well above the state's 37.3%. What's especially encouraging is the grade-level trend: 3rd graders start below the district average, but by 5th grade they finish well above it (60.8% vs. 53.8%). English Language Arts is a relative weakness, with 57.1% proficiency versus the district's 61.8%, though the gap narrows considerably by 5th grade. The school also boasts excellent attendance, with chronic absenteeism at just 11.5%—about half the district rate—and a low free/reduced-price lunch rate of 11.15%. Science scores have been uneven, falling from 53.1% to 41.3% over the past two years, and now trail the district average.

Within a few miles, Explorer Elementary School (91st percentile), Chinook Trail Elementary School (89th), Discovery Canyon Campus Elementary School (85th), and Ranch Creek Elementary (84th) all rank above Encompass's 75th percentile, though Encompass has been steadily closing that gap. With a student-teacher ratio of 19.1:1 and an economically advantaged student body, the school has untapped potential—particularly in ELA—but its strong math instruction and high attendance make it a dependable, improving option for families.
