Summary

Bennett Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving 227 students in grades 3-5 in the town of Bennett, Colorado. The school is part of the Bennett School District No. 29J, which is ranked 106 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data suggests that Bennett Intermediate School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.0% to 27.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores on the CMAS assessments are consistently below state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22% were proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 44.8% and 35.9% respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools for Hispanic students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Bennett School District and surrounding districts generally perform better than Bennett Intermediate School on academic measures. For instance, Byers Elementary School, which is 11.55 miles away, outperforms Bennett Intermediate School by over 20 percentage points in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. Despite maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 14.5, Bennett Intermediate School's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 593 out of 710 Colorado elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 681 out of 950 in 2024-2025.
