Summary

Skyway Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 305 students in grades K-6 and part of the highly-ranked Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12. While the school has shown fluctuating academic performance on state assessments, with some grades and subjects outperforming state averages, it generally lags behind the district-wide excellence seen in other Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12 schools.

One key differentiator for Skyway Park Elementary School is its higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the surrounding district schools. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance in certain areas. In contrast, nearby The Vanguard School (Elementary) and Stratton Meadows Elementary School, which are part of the Harrison School District No. 2, have even higher percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and lower academic performance compared to Skyway Park Elementary School.

Another area of concern for Skyway Park Elementary School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.3% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Addressing the root causes of this trend could be a key focus for the school and district to improve overall academic performance.
