Summary

Alamosa Elementary School 3-5 serves 473 students in grades 3 through 5 in Alamosa, Colorado, and is part of the Alamosa School District No. Re-11J. The school operates in a high-poverty context, with 81.2% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch in 2024-2025 — the highest rate among nearby elementary schools and up sharply from 66.1% two years earlier.

On the 2025-2026 CMAS assessments, the school's proficiency rates were above the district average but well below state averages: 32.9% in ELA (state: 44.7%), 26.5% in math (state: 37.3%), and 22.6% in science (state: 36.1%). The most striking trend is a dramatic math slide: 3rd graders scored 42.8% proficient — actually above the state average of 41.5% — but that figure plunges to 22.9% in 4th grade and just 14.8% in 5th grade. ELA scores, by contrast, are much more stable across grade levels. This 28-point drop suggests parents should ask how the school supports math as students move into upper elementary.

Chronic absenteeism is also elevated, with 28.4% of students missing significant school time in 2024-2025 — higher than most nearby schools, including La Jara Elementary (17.5%) and Bill Metz Elementary (18.7%). Despite these challenges, the school holds its own against some neighbors with lower poverty: its math proficiency (26.5%) exceeds both Sargent Elementary (22.2%) and Bill Metz (19.7%). The 3rd-grade math result is a genuine bright spot worth celebrating — and worth replicating in 4th and 5th grades. Science, meanwhile, is an emerging weakness, falling to 22.6% from 31.9% the prior year. With poverty rising, absenteeism high, and recent rankings slipping, this is a school to watch closely — but also one with clear strengths to build on.
