Summary

Alsup Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Commerce City, CO, serving 492 students within School District No. 14, one of the lowest-ranked districts in the state. The school itself sits in the bottom rung of Colorado elementary schools (867th out of 943, or the 8th percentile), with proficiency rates far below state averages: 20.4% in English Language Arts, 11.5% in math, and 19.4% in 5th-grade science, compared to state averages of 44.7%, 37.3%, and 36.1%.

Despite the low overall numbers, Alsup shows relative strengths within its district. It has the second-highest ELA proficiency among the five same-district elementary schools (behind Dupont Elementary School) and the highest science proficiency (19.4%, well above the district average of 11.8%). Math, however, is a clear weak spot—11.5% versus Kemp Elementary School's 21.2%, even though Kemp serves a higher-poverty population. Alsup actually has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (85.4%) among its five district peers, yet it ranks worse than Kemp and Dupont, suggesting factors beyond poverty—such as attendance—are at play.

The most striking red flag is chronic absenteeism: 44.7% of students miss enough school to be considered chronically absent, roughly 12 points higher than nearby same-district schools like Rose Hill Elementary School (29.4%), Monaco Elementary School (31.2%), and Dupont (32.7%). Out-of-district options such as Welby Community School of the Arts and Community Leadership Academy achieve notably higher proficiency despite similar or greater economic disadvantage, showing stronger outcomes are possible in the same corridor. Alsup has also seen a decade-long decline in state rankings and very low subgroup outcomes. On the positive side, 5th-grade science proficiency jumped from 11.1% to 19.4% in one year—the highest among district peers—a sign that targeted improvements are achievable.
