Greenwood Elementary School

Summary:

Greenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenwood Village, Colorado, serving 358 students in grades PK-5 and part of the highly-ranked Cherry Creek School District No. 5. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, with impressive test scores that place it among the top-performing elementary schools in the region.

Greenwood Elementary's academic excellence is evident across all subjects, with 68.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 64.9% in math, and 55.7% in 5th-grade science - significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 students per teacher suggests a learning environment that fosters individualized attention. However, Greenwood's student population is predominantly white (80.17%) and comes from relatively affluent families, with only 6.42% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Greenwood Elementary outperforms many nearby schools within the Cherry Creek School District, such as Cherry Hills Village Elementary and Walnut Hills Community Elementary, some schools outside the district, like Ford Elementary and Lois Lenski Elementary in the Littleton School District, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just the school district may contribute to a school's success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
