Summary

Dupont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Commerce City, Colorado, serving 435 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the School District No. 14, which is ranked 115 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dupont Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 890-941 out of around 950 schools.

Dupont Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.7% to 48.9% in recent years, far exceeding the state average. Student performance on state assessments (CMAS) is also very low, with only 15.9% of Dupont students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 9.2% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. Additionally, Dupont has an exceptionally high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.25% to 91.26% in recent years, much higher than nearby schools like Alsup Elementary, Kemp Elementary, and Central Elementary.

The persistent challenges faced by Dupont Elementary, including its consistently low rankings and performance compared to the state and nearby schools, suggest the school requires targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among the student population may contribute to the academic struggles, but the school's performance has remained poor for many years, indicating the need for comprehensive strategies to address these issues and provide a better educational experience for the students of Dupont Elementary.
