Summary

Laredo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Colorado, serving 412 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28, which is ranked 103 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Laredo Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, and Hispanic students, is also very low, with rankings in the bottom 10-20% of Colorado elementary schools. Laredo Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 40.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on the CMAS assessments are consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 9.8% and 12.4% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math, respectively, in 2024-2025.

When comparing Laredo Elementary School to the nearby Edna and John W. Mosley P-8, which is only 1.5 miles away, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with the Mosley P-8 consistently outperforming Laredo Elementary on CMAS assessments and having a higher school ranking. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and poverty at Laredo Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, and despite being a long-standing school, it has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance over the past several years.
