Summary

Park Lane Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Colorado, serving 484 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28, which is ranked 103 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park Lane Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, poor academic performance on state assessments, and an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.8% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.8% statewide, and only 6.8% were proficient or better in math, compared to 35.9% statewide. The student-teacher ratio has also increased from 13.4 to 20.2 over the past few years, which may impact the quality of instruction.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Rocky Mountain Prep: Fletcher, a charter school within the same district, Park Lane Elementary School is underperforming significantly. However, the data suggests that there is an opportunity for improvement, as other schools in the area, like Isabella Bird Community School, have demonstrated much higher levels of academic proficiency, even with a high-needs student population.
